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.

At least five people charged in the riot at the U.S. Capitol have chosen to defend themselves in court. In doing so, they're brushing aside federal judges’ repeated warnings about the risks of trying to navigate their high-stakes cases without a lawyer.

A Capitol police officer has been indicted on charges that he helped a Jan. 6 riot suspect hide evidence that he’d participated in the attack on the Capitol.

President Joe Biden determined an assertion of executive privilege “is not warranted” for the first set of documents from the Trump White House, the White House said.

Frances Haugen, a Facebook whistleblower, will speak with members of the January 6 Select Committee to discuss the social media platform’s role in the events of the Capitol riot.

A House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol has subpoenaed four advisers and associates to former President Donald Trump who were in contact with him before and during the attack.

The nation's capital is boosting security ahead of Saturday's rally that is being held to demand justice for the hundreds of people who have been charged in connection with January's insurrection.

Jason Dolan, a member of the far-right Oath Keepers militia group that stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 has pleaded guilty. He will cooperate against his fellow extremists.

Law enforcement concerned by the prospect for violence at a rally in the nation’s capital next week are planning to reinstall protective fencing that surrounded the U.S. Capitol for months after the Jan. 6 insurrection there, according to a person familiar with the discussions.

Jacob Chansley, who was widely photographed in the Senate chamber with a flagpole topped with a spear, could face 41 to 51 months in prison under sentencing guidelines, a prosecutor said. The man who called himself “QAnon Shaman” has been jailed for nearly eight months since his arrest.

The U.S. Capitol police officer who fatally shot Ashli Babbitt during the Jan. 6 riot opened up about what led to the shooting and revealed the death threats he’s received in the aftermath.
