Capitol attack panel set to recommend contempt charges against Mark Meadows

The House panel investigating the 6 January insurrection at the US Capitol is set to recommend contempt charges against former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows on Monday as lawmakers are releasing new details about thousands of emails and texts he has handed over to the committee.

The panel says it also wants to know more about whether Trump was engaged in discussions regarding the response of the National Guard, which was delayed for hours as the violence escalated and the rioters brutally beat police guarding the Capitol building.

The House voted to recommend charges against Bannon in October, and the Department of Justice indicted him on two counts of contempt last month.
