|Updated:

The Democratic-led House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol breach voted on Oct. 19 to hold conservative podcast host and former Trump adviser Steve Bannon in contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena for documents and testimony.

The resolution will now move for a vote by the full House, where Democrats hold a slim majority and will likely approve the measure. Should the House approve the contempt resolution, the Department of Justice will decide whether to pursue charges.
