The House of Representatives voted Thursday to hold former Trump adviser Steve Bannon in contempt of Congress. The full House voted 229-202. All Democrats voted in favor; most Republicans voted against.
Many of the Republicans who voted yes Thursday also voted to impeach Trump in January when he was accused of inciting the insurrection. But three Republicans who voted to impeach Trump voted against holding Bannon in contempt: Reps. Dan Newhouse, R-Wash., Tom Rice, R-S.C., and David Valadao, R-Calif.Rep. Greg Pence, R-Ind., brother of former Vice President Mike Pence, who was specifically targeted by rioters on Jan. 6, did not vote.
Now that the House has passed the contempt report recommended by the committee, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., will recommend it to the Justice Department, which has final say on whether to prosecute Bannon.
