Representative Bennie Thompson said that the panel will vote on October 19 to recommend the charges.
A congressional committee investigating the January 6 insurrection has set a vote to recommend criminal contempt charges against former White House aide Steve Bannon after he defied the panel's subpoena.
Representative Bennie Thompson said that the panel will vote on October 19 to recommend the charges. That would send the recommendation to the full House for a vote.
If the House votes to recommend the contempt charges against Mr. Bannon, the Justice Department will ultimately decide whether to prosecute. The committee had demanded documents and testimony from Mr. Bannon, who was in touch with President Donald Trump ahead of the violent attack.
