Schiff Gives a Problematic Answer on Meadows, Scavino Not Getting Charged by DOJ

Some key figures have defied the committee's subpoenas, including Meadows and five Republican members of the House, including Leader Kevin McCarthy.

He added that among others they're seeking to speak in front of the committee is former Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro, and that "[l]ate Friday, the committee said they'd been notified that the Justice Department will not be prosecuting Meadows or former White House staffer Dan Scavino for contempt of Congress.

To kick things off, Brennan spoke to Rep. Adam Schiff, one of seven Democrats on the committee cobbled together by Democrat leadership, whom I don't have to tell you holds an irrational and seething hatred for former President Donald Trump and anyone connected to him.

Jan. 6 committee member Rep. Adam Schiff says the DOJ's decision not to charge two former Trump aides Mark Meadows and Dan Scavino is "Deeply troubling."

The first is that Meadows and Scavino did cooperate, just not as much as he or others on the committee demanded.

Meadows and Scavino entered into negotiations with the Jan 6 Committee and participated to a lesser extent than the committee requested, despite Meadows turning over over 9,000 documents, whereas Navarro and Bannon rejected the committee's request outright on the grounds of executive privilege.

In a statement, Navarro described the Jan 6th committee as a "Kangaroo committee" with "7 partisan Democrats" and "2 RINO Republicans."
