The House select committee investigating the January 6 riot at the US Capitol is prepared to vote Monday on whether former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows should be referred to the Department of Justice on criminal contempt of Congress charges.
Members of the panel will vote to formally advance the criminal contempt report against Meadows for a full floor House vote as soon as later this week. The vote by the full House is the last step before sending the referral to the Justice department.
The committee informed Meadows last week that it had "no choice" but to advance criminal contempt proceedings against him given that he had decided to no longer cooperate with its investigation.
