good evening once again, i am stephanie ruhle. 179 days until the midterm elections. and tonight, the january 6th committee is under pressure to figure out its next move. given the very real likelihood none of the five subpoenaed republican lawmakers will comply. earlier today, one committee member suggested it is not over yet. we have all of the options that would be available to us for someone like steve bannon, or mark meadows, and then additional options because there are members of congress. of course, bannon and meadows were held in contempt, bannon now facing criminal charges for stonewalling the investigation. as the committee waits to hear from the gop house members. politico issued this report, another subpoena has gone out to a former aide to mark meadows. cassidy hutchinson, worked with meadows during trump s final days in the white house. she has already had two conversations with the committee. and the panel now wants a third. there is no question that hut
