New—
@January6thCmte chair @BennieGThompson releases a report recommending contempt referrals for Peter Navarro and Dan Scavino.
Here, the report notes Navarro went on @AriMelber's show a day after releasing a statement stonewalling the committee.

The report also details the "Green Bay Sweep," a plot to overturn Trump's election defeat that Navarro detailed in his book.
The @WashingtonPost's video explainer here:
"In the days leading up to January 6, 2021, according to evidence obtained by the Select Committee, Mr. Navarro also encouraged Mark Meadows (and possibly others) to call Roger Stone to discuss January 6th."
"On January 6th, the day to implement the ‘Green Bay
Sweep,’ Mr. Navarro had multiple calls with Mr. Bannon, including during and after the attack on the U.S. Capitol."
The portions of the report on Scavino focus on his role as Trump's social media manager—and reportedly his sometime-tweet-ghostwriter.
Scavino also monitored TheDonald [dot] win, an online forum visited by folks who "openly advocated and planned violence" leading up to Jan. 6.
More on that site:
On Dec. 19, 2020, the same day Trump tweeted "Big
protest in D.C. on January 6th... Be there, will be wild!," the site's users began sharing "specific techniques, tactics, and procedures for the assault on the Capitol," according to the report.
Remember the Jan. 6 defendant known as "zip-tie guy"?
One poster on TheDonald[dot]win wrote that "people
should bring 'handcuffs and zip ties to DC' so they could enact 'citizen’s arrests' of those officials who certified the election’s results."
