Jan. 6 committee refers 4 GOP congressmen to House Ethics Committee for sanctioning

In addition to making criminal referrals to the Justice Department for former President Trump and attorney John Eastman, the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol referred four GOP members of Congress to the House Ethics Committee for sanctions for failing to comply with the select committee's subpoenas. 

Those four members are House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Rep. Andy Biggs, Rep. Jim Jordan and Rep. Scott Perry, all close allies of Trump.  

When Republicans take control of the House in January, McCarthy is running to be speaker, and Biggs intends to challenge McCarthy's chances. McCarthy has already said Republicans will launch a probe into how the select committee's conduct next year.
