House Jan. 6 Inquisition Votes to Hold Mark Meadows in Criminal Contempt

The House January 6th Inquisition voted on Monday to recommend that the House bring criminal contempt charges against former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.

The vote was 9 to 0, Just the News reports.

“Whatever legacy [Meadows] thought he left in the House, this is his legacy now,” Chairman Bennie Thompson said during the committee’s open remarks. “His former colleagues singling him out for criminal prosecution because he wouldn’t answer questions about what he knows about a brutal attack on our democracy. That’s his legacy.”

As previously reported by Human Events News, Meadows filed a lawsuit last week against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the Inquisition and its members, arguing a subpoena unconstitutionally intrudes on Trump’s powers to invoke executive privilege.

“The Select Committee acts absent any valid legislative power and threatens to violate longstanding principles of executive privilege and immunity that are of constitutional origin and dimension,” the suit reads.
