(ANSA) – WASHINGTON, DEC 14 – With 222 yes and 208 no, the American House approved the resolution recommending the Ministry of Justice to prosecute former chief of staff Mark Meadows for outrage to Congress, for refusing to collaborate without foundation with the parliamentary commission investigating the attack on the Capitol on January 6 last.
Two Republicans voted with the Democrats. This is the second move of its kind, after the one against former White House strategist Steve Bannon. The Republicans Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, who have long been at odds with Donald Trump, voted in favor together with the dem. If the recommendation is upheld by the Justice Department, Meadows will become the first cabinet chief to be prosecuted after leaving office since HR Haldeman in the Watergate scandal nearly 50 years ago.
