Watch Live: House January 6 committee votes on holding Steve Bannon in criminal contempt

The House select committee investigating the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol will be voting Tuesday night about whether or not to hold former President Trump's adviser Steve Bannon in criminal contempt for defying a subpoena to appear and produce records.

Bannon was ordered to appear before the committee last week, but his attorney said he was following the direction of the former president's legal team to not provide documents or testify. The committee recommended Monday night that he be held in criminal contempt.

If the committee finds him in criminal contempt, the measure then goes to the Democrat-controlled House. If they agree to find him criminal contempt, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will refer the case to the Justice Department for prosecution.
