Jan. 6 panel to pursue criminal contempt referral for Bannon
The House Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol plans to refer former Trump White House strategist Stephen Bannon to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution after he refused to appear for a slated deposition.

Bannon informed the committee last week that he would refuse to comply with the subpoena, citing a yet-to-be-filed suit from former President Donald Trump claiming documents and testimony sought by the committee are covered by executive privilege.
The law allows for Congress to refer a noncompliant witness to the DOJ for criminal prosecution, which could result in jail time, a fine or both.

“Mr. Bannon has declined to cooperate with the Select Committee and is instead hiding behind the former President’s insufficient, blanket, and vague statements regarding privileges he has purported to invoke. We reject his position entirely. The Select Committee will not tolerate defiance of our subpoenas, so we must move forward with proceedings to refer Mr. Bannon for criminal contempt. I’ve notified the Select Committee that we will convene for a business meeting Tuesday evening to vote on adopting a contempt report,” Chair Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) said in a statement.
“The Select Committee will use every tool at its disposal to get the information it seeks, and witnesses who try to stonewall the Select Committee will not succeed.”

“We are completely of one mind that if people refuse to respond to questions without justification that we will hold them in criminal contempt and refer them to the Justice Department,” Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) told The Washington Post earlier this week.
“We intend to enforce our subpoenas, and the first step will be for us to pursue criminal contempt,” Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-Fla.) said during an appearance on MSNBC.

“What that means is that the committee will put together a report and refer it to the House floor. There will be a vote, then it goes to the Department of Justice. I fully expect this Department of Justice to uphold and enforce that subpoena. I think this Department of Justice believes that nobody is above the law.”

“We’re grateful to the many individuals who are voluntarily participating and to witnesses who are complying with subpoenas, including several who met the deadline to begin producing materials to the Select Committee,” Thompson added in his statement.

“First of all, the executive privilege applies to a sitting president, not former presidents, because the focus is on the national security interests of the country. It's a very limited doctrinal privilege,” Rep. Jaime Raskin (D-Md.), one of the nine lawmakers on the committee, told reporters last month.
“In any event, even if the court were to weigh the public's overwhelming interest in getting at the truth of events, versus the interest in national security, in this case both factors are on the side of disclosure. The public has an interest in knowing everything about the attack on our democracy, and that truth-seeking function will improve national security. So national security argues for disclosure, not for secrecy.”

If the Justice Department is hesitant to pursue criminal charges against Bannon, the committee could also file its own civil suit asking a judge to hold Bannon in contempt, a move that could also mean jail time.

Climate activists are concluding their five days of action in Washington with a march to the U.S. Capitol to demand that President Biden take more extreme measures to address climate change.

They are demanding Biden stop approving fossil fuel projects and declare a national climate emergency at a time when scientists say the world must sharply cut greenhouse gas emissions. Those protesting this week have said they believe he has not delivered on climate-related campaign promises.

The rallies are part of People vs. Fossil Fuels demonstrations by a coalition of groups known as Build Back Fossil Free, a nod to Biden’s “Build Back Better” agenda. The protesters are being led by Indigenous people from across the country, who shared stories about how human-induced climate change has affected the health of their communities.
Indigenous activists come to D.C. with a message for Biden: Declare a national climate emergency

Joye Braun, 52, of Eagle Butte, S.D., a member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe and a national pipeline campaign organizer with the Indigenous Environmental Network, led a crowd in chanting “Boo!” toward the White House on Monday and criticized Biden on his climate actions so far.

As a child, she remembers how the snow in the winter months piled up as high as their homes. She would jump from the rooftops with other kids and build elaborate snow tunnels. Now, she said, they get a light dusting of snow during the winter, which affects the water runoff needed in the spring for farming and growing traditional plants such as wild plums and buffalo berries. There’s less grass for her family’s cows to pasture. And there’s always a search for water as stock dams have run dry, she said.

“Biden’s administration is green-washing the climate solutions. They are believing false solutions like carbon offsets that everyone thinks are these wonderful things and they’re not,” Braun said. “In order for us to really have solutions, we need to move away from our fossil fuel addiction.”

On Thursday, dozens of Indigenous leaders and climate activists occupied the Interior Department by sitting inside and holding hands. Others were unable to get inside as police blocked the only unlocked doorway of the Stewart Lee Udall Main Interior Building entrance on C Street NW.

Federal Protective Service personnel responded to the protest “to mitigate the situation,” Interior Department spokeswoman Melissa Schwartz said in a statement. Security personnel sustained “multiple injuries,” and one officer was taken to a hospital.

People vs. Fossil Fuels said in a statement that 55 people were arrested during the protest, including Indigenous leaders, and that police “acted aggressively” by using Tasers on at least two people and batons to hit others.

“Because of colonization, our mission has been passed on generation after generation — to protect the sacred. Just as those who walked before us, we continue their song and rise for our youth, for the land, and for the water,” said a statement from the Indigenous leaders who led the occupation. “You can arrest us, tear gas us, poison us but there will always be more hearts to continue the song until we are all free.”



Those in Washington this week shared a sense of urgency about humanity’s future. They referred to the recent landmark report from the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that described how humans have pushed the climate into “unprecedented” territory. The planet is on track to warm more than 2 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels, which could trigger irreversible damage and more deadly disasters such as fires, heat waves and floods unless the world quickly and severely cuts greenhouse gas emissions. Right now, they said, may be the last moment to implement meaningful change.

When asked about the protesters’ demands during a news briefing Thursday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said, “Of course we’re listening to advocates and people who have been elevating the issue of climate for decades.”

Psaki credited activists with putting climate “on the front of the agenda.”

“I would encourage anyone out there or not to look at what the president is proposing, what he’s trying to push across the finish line at this point, which is an enormous investment and commitment to addressing the climate crisis. That’s in his legislative agenda that’s currently working its way through Congress now,” Psaki said. “It doesn’t mean his climate commitment ends once he signs this into law, it just means that’s what our focus is on now, and it will have a dramatic, important impact.”

Biden has taken steps to reduce the country’s reliance on fossil fuels, including proposing federal goals and mandates to begin shifting the United States toward electric cars, among other measures. Biden also canceled a federal permit for the Keystone XL oil pipeline, but protesters this week have criticized the completion of Line 3, a tar-sands oil pipeline expansion project from Canada across northern Minnesota and into Wisconsin.

Opponents claimed Line 3 violates treaty-protected tribal land and predict it will leak and damage the environment. They lost court challenges, and Biden did not act to cancel the federal permit that allowed it. Oil began flowing through it on Oct. 1.

Throughout the week, climate activists chanted “Stop Line 3!” and “Death to the black snake!”



Michael Barnes, a spokesman for Enbridge, the Canadian company behind the pipeline, said in an earlier statement that the pipeline had “tremendous support” throughout Minnesota and that Native Americans made up 7 percent of the project workforce. Renewable energy also is “a core business” for the company, with a target of net-zero emissions by 2050, Barnes wrote.

Supporters of pipeline projects say the nation’s 2.6 million-mile pipeline network is a relatively safe way to transport needed oil and gas with a lower carbon footprint than the alternatives of using trucks or railroads. Some labor unions also have supported pipeline projects, saying fossil fuel industry jobs provide higher pay than those in renewable energy.
