The committee probing the Jan. 6 attack recommended that the House hold Trump White House officials Peter Navarro and Dan Scavino in contempt of Congress.
Trump ally Steve Bannon for refusing to comply with the committee's subpoena. The trial for Bannon, who has pleaded not guilty, could begin this summer.
The committee wrote in its report that Navarro also worked closely with Trump ally Steve Bannon to delay Congress' certification of the election and to overturn the results, a plan Navarro dubbed the"Green Bay Sweep" in his book,"In Trump Time." Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., on Monday called Navarro a"key witness" who had"written a book boasting about his role in planning and coordinating the activity of Jan. 6, and yet he does not have the courage to testify here."
Scavino also played a central part in amplifying Trump's unfounded claims of widespread election fraud in his role managing the then-president's Twitter and other social media accounts."We need to hear from him," he said on Monday.
