Latest Action · June 18, 2024
Referred to the Committee on Rules, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This resolution would rescind subpoenas that the January 6th Select Committee issued to four Trump advisors—Stephen Bannon, Mark Meadows, Daniel Scavino, and Peter Navarro—and would withdraw contempt of Congress recommendations against them. The legislation argues that the Select Committee was illegitimate because Speaker Pelosi refused to seat Republican members nominated by the Minority Leader, making it a partisan body, and claims that the committee lacked proper authority to issue subpoenas without consultation with a ranking minority member. The resolution expresses the sense of the House that courts should set aside any convictions or commute sentences related to contempt charges from the committee. The measure would also direct the Speaker to notify the Department of Justice that all such subpoenas are null and void. There are no specific funding amounts or implementation timelines included in this resolution.
