..."Ethics Committee referrals
The committee also referred four Republican members of Congress to the bipartisan House Ethics Committee for defying subpoenas issued earlier this year.
In its executive report, the committee said that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Calif., Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona, Scott Perry of Pennsylvania and Jim Jordan of Ohio should all be sanctioned.
"Willful noncompliance [with congressional subpoenas] violates multiple standards of conduct and subjects them to discipline," the committee report stated.
The committee also said the four Republicans should "be questioned in a public forum about their advance knowledge of and role in President Trump's plan to prevent the peaceful transition of power."
Perry, Biggs and Jordan were among a small group of Trump loyalists who both publicly and privately encouraged Trump to continue denying the election results, even after his myriad lawsuits challenging the vote tallies in various states had failed.
The three men also attended a now-infamous meeting at the White House on Dec. 21, 2020, in which they and other staunch Trump allies discussed the fake electors scheme, which was being promoted at the time by Eastman."
