Trump ally Steve Bannon has declined to follow a subpoena from a House committee set up to investigate the U.S. Capitol riot on January 6.<\/b>
\nPresident Joe Biden thinks the Department of Justice should prosecute anyone who refuses subpoenas from a House committee investigating the January 6 riot, he told reporters Friday, as lawmakers face off against Steve Bannon over his refusal to testify. \u201cI hope that the committee goes after them and holds them accountable,\u201d Biden told reporters Friday evening. If the select committee recommends holding Bannon in contempt of Congress next week, it will set the stage for the entire House of Representatives to vote on it. Lawmakers could then refer him to federal prosecutors for criminal charges, though the DOJ has argued in the past it has discretion to decide whether to pursue criminal action. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki declined to weigh in on contempt Thursday, telling reporters it\u2019s \u201csomething that is between [the select committee]<\/p>\n
