Bannon and Navarro never spent a minute with the January 6th Committee and never turned over a single document to our committee. These people had zero percent compliance with Congress.

Mr. Speaker, I urge Congress to reject this absurd motion. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Norman). The Chair would remind Members to refrain from engaging in personalities toward presumptive nominees for the Office of the President.
