WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 22nd October, 2021) The US House of Representatives on Thursday passed a resolution finding Trump associate Steve Bannon in contempt of Congress for his refusal to testify as part of a subpoena issued by the committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot.

The House passed the resolution in a vote of 229 to 202, with nine Republicans voting in favor alongside all Democrats. One Republican did not vote.

The US Justice Department will now determine whether to impanel a grand jury and indict Bannon for refusing to comply with the congressional subpoena.
