Capitol Riot

A House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection is moving swiftly on Tuesday to hold former White House aide Steve Bannon in contempt.

The recommendation of criminal charges for Bannon’s defiance of the subpoena now goes to the full House. Approval there would send the charges to the Justice Department, which has final say on prosecution.

Former President Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit to block the release of White House documents to the Jan. 6 select committee of Congress, challenging President Joe Biden's decision to hand them over.

At least five people charged in the riot at the U.S. Capitol have chosen to defend themselves in court.

A New York mother and son have been charged with theft in aiding the disappearance of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s laptop during the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Frances Haugen was identified in a “60 Minutes” interview Sunday as the woman who anonymously filed complaints with federal law enforcement that the company’s own research shows how it magnifies hate and misinformation.

The announcement follows a first round of subpoenas last week that targeted former White House and administration officials who were in contact with Trump before and during the insurrection.
