The House voted to hold former President Donald Trump's chief of staff Mark Meadows in criminal contempt of Congress. The vote passed the House by a 222-208 margin, with only two Republicans voting yes. Meadows defied a subpoena issued by the committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection and filed a lawsuit to invalidate it, citing Trump's claim of executive privilege. But the committee rejected that claim.
