Capitol attack panel recommends contempt prosecution for Jeffrey Clark

Former Trump DoJ official punished for refusal to comply with subpoena but gets last chance after 11th-hour statement

The House select committee investigating the Capitol attack recommended on Wednesday the criminal prosecution of the former Trump justice department official Jeffrey Clark, over his refusal to comply with a subpoena in the inquiry into the 6 January insurrection.

The select committee approved the contempt of Congress report unanimously. The resolution now heads to the full House of Representatives, which could refer Clark for prosecution in a vote that could come as soon as next week.
