Capitol riot panel to vote for contempt charges against Trump DoJ official

• Committee to recommend criminal prosecution of Jeffrey Clark
• Clark defied subpoena and refused to turn over documents

The House select committee investigating the Capitol attack announced on Monday that it will vote to recommend the criminal prosecution of top former Trump justice department official Jeffrey Clark after he defied a subpoena seeking his cooperation with the inquiry.

The move to pursue contempt of Congress charges against Clark reflects the select committee's aggressive approach to warn recalcitrant witnesses against attempting to derail their investigation as Trump tried during his administration.
