WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Division has declined to cost former White Home chief of employees Mark Meadows and one other aide to former President Donald Trump, Dan Scavino, for contempt of Congress for his or her defiance of subpoenas within the Jan. 6 congressional investigation.

That’s in response to an individual aware of a letter despatched by the Justice Division to a lawyer for the Home of Representatives on Friday. The individual was not approved to debate the matter publicly and was granted anonymity.

The motion got here the identical day because the Justice Division stated a grand jury had indicted Peter Navarro, a commerce adviser within the Trump White Home, for his refusal to cooperate with the committee’s investigation.

The New York Instances first reported the choice to not prosecute.
