The House of Representatives late Tuesday voted to hold former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows in contempt of Congress after he ceased to cooperate with a congressional subpoena linked to the Jan. 6 breach of the Capitol building.
It marks the first time the chamber has voted to hold a former member in contempt since the 1830s. Meadows, a Republican, served as a U.S. House representative for North Carolina’s 11th congressional district prior to joining the Trump administration.
