Summary

The January 6th commission plans to hold Steve Bannon in criminal contempt for refusing to comply with the committee. Meanwhile, Trump’s lawyers are advising all administration officials who have been subpoenaed to not comply while Trump, himself, fights with the Biden White House over the release of documents related to the event. The midterms aren’t until next year, but there is still a big race to watch – the fight to be Virginia’s next Governor. Crooked Media’s political director Shaniqua McClendon joins us to share everything we need to know about the highly important gubernatorial race that is currently underway. And in headlines: street clashes in Lebanon leave several dead and dozens injured, an FDA advisory panel recommended that the agency authorize a booster dose of Moderna’s COVID vaccine, and LinkedIn will leave China later this year.

But first, we wanted to give an update on Congress's efforts to hold accountable those

0:42.5

fools who attacked the Capitol earlier this year. The committee that is investigating the

Capitol Hill riot that took place on January 6th has been sending out subpoenas to a number of

0:51.9

folks involved and those who stoked the baseless claims that motivated the act of treason.

Okay, so we've mentioned on the show how a number of these folks have been trying to avoid all of

1:30.4

reaches an agreement with Trump over claims of executive privilege or a court makes him.

1:35.2
