Jan 6 committee member says Trump attempting to witness tamper is ‘highly improper’
Donald Trump, his current wife Melania, and his three children paid their respect to Mr Trump’s first wife Ivana in New York City at a funeral mass on Wednesday.
After months trying to have his trial delayed, far-right agitator and Trump ally Steve Bannon is now in court facing a charge of criminal contempt of Congress, with prosecutors arguing he simply “decided he was above the law” when refusing to comply with a subpoena from the 6 January select committee. The judge overseeing the trial has warned Mr Bannon’s legal team that he does not want to see the case turned into a “political circus”.
Meanwhile, Rudy Giuliani has been ordered by a judge to testify to the grand jury convened in Fulton County, Georgia to hear evidence on Donald Trump’s efforts to throw out Joe Biden’s victory in that state.
Tomorrow will see the eighth of the 6 Jaunary committee’s summer hearings, this one focusing on Mr Trump’s hours of inaction at the White House while a mob of his supporters violently attacked Congress.
