bannon in criminal contempt of congress. we feel this behavior is outrageous. reporter: the committee has requested documents and wants to talk to bannon about his conversations with trump and others in the days leading up to sq january 6th. all hell is going to break loose tomorrow. reporter: tonight the committee will hold a vote to officially report their claim that bannon s defiance rises to the level of criminal contempt of congress. from there the entire house of representatives will send the matter to the department of justice awhere prosecutors will decide whether to prosecute the case. a lengthy process that s likely to be fought in court for some time. we can go up and down the federal court hierarchy multiple times. so district court, court of appeals, even the united states supreme court could potentially hear one of these cases. historically, one of the remarkable things about the clash between the executive and the legislature in this kind of setting involving e
