1/6 Chair @BennieGThompson says the committee has "just learned" Jeffrey Clark has agreed to appear again for his deposition (after showing up and saying nothing the first time). He says they'll proceed with a contempt vote and won't allow anybody to run the clock on them. 
Liz Cheney says Jeffrey Clark's attorney has conveyed that he "plans to assert his 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination." She says he has yet to cure his "failure to comply with the subpoena" but may try to do so "this Saturday."
.@Liz_Cheney says Jeffrey Clark is "not excused from testifying just because President Trump is trying to hide behind inapplicable claims of executive privilege."
It's done. The @January6thCmte votes 9-0 to hold Jeffrey Clark in contempt of Congress and refer him for criminal prosecution for defying a subpoena. After the full House approves it, it goes to the Justice Department.
Committee is adjourned.
