President Joe Biden said the Department of Justice (DOJ) should prosecute individuals who defy subpoenas surrounding the Jan.6 riot on Friday, prompting quick damage control from the administration. Former chief of staff Mark Meadows, former administration official Kash Patel and former Trump aide Steve Bannon are among those hit with subpoenas from the Jan.6 House select committee investigating the riot at the U.S. Capitol. Bannon has refused to comply with the subpoena and now faces potential criminal contempt charges. While the White House has tried to distance itself from the situation, Biden issued a firm opinion Friday evening, telling reporters that he does believe that anyone refusing a subpoena in this situation should face prosecution.
