US Capitol attack panel votes to recommend prosecution of Trump duo

Select committee unanimously agrees to advance contempt of Congress citations against Peter Navarro and Dan Scavino

The House select committee investigating the Capitol attack voted on Monday to recommend the criminal prosecution of two of Donald Trump's top former White House aides - Peter Navarro and Dan Scavino - for defying subpoenas in a bid to undermine the January 6 inquiry.

The select committee unanimously approved the contempt of Congress report it had been examining. The citations now head for a vote before the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives, which is expected to approve resolutions for referrals to the justice department.
