On October 21, 2021, the House of Representatives passed House Resolution 727, a procedural measure that set the rules for debating a criminal contempt of Congress charge against Stephen K. Bannon. The passage of this resolution allowed the House to move forward with a formal vote on whether to refer Mr. Bannon to the Department of Justice for refusing to comply with a subpoena issued by the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. The vote followed strict party lines, with 219 Democrats voting in favor and 205 Republicans voting against. Only two Republicans joined the Democratic majority to pass the measure, reflecting the deeply divided partisan views regarding the scope and authority of the Select Committee’s investigation.
