House GOP Rep. Eric Burlison announced that he will be releasing a resolution next week with other conservatives in Congress to rescind the subpoenas issued by the J6 Committee for Mark Meadows, Dan Scavino, Steve Bannon, and Peter Navarro. This would also withdraw the contempt of Congress charges against the Trump allies.
In a post, Burlison wrote, "Next week, I’m introducing a resolution to rescind the subpoenas issued by the illegitimate January 6th Committee for Steve Bannon, Mark Meadows, Dan Scavino, and Peter Navarro and withdraw the recommendations finding them in contempt of Congress."
"The Committee was nothing more than a political witch hunt to blame President Trump and his advisors for the events that took place on January 6, 2021, and influence the 2022 mid-term elections and 2024 presidential election," the representative added in a thread on X. “The Committee was legally deficient in its composition and was more focused on producing made-for-TV hearings than following House rules. The subpoenas issued were insufficient and should be rescinded, and the contempt of Congress referrals based on those subpoenas should be withdrawn."
Several others in the House GOP will also cosponsor the resolution, according to Burlison's post. They will include: Reps. Andy Biggs, Thomas Massie, Chip Roy, Andy Ogles, Andrew Clyde, Paul Gosar, Bob Good, Diana Harshbarger, Lauren Bobert, Anna Paulina Luna, Eli Crane, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Jim Banks, Michael Cloud, Dan Bishop, and Scott Perry.
The announcement of the resolution comes as Steve Bannon has been ordered to jail on July 1 for being held in contempt of Congress over defying a subpoena issued against him from the J6 Committee. He was sentenced to four months in October 2022 but was out on appeal. The appeals court upheld the conviction in May.
