Congressman Eric Burlison has reintroduced a resolution in Washington, D.C., aiming to rescind subpoenas issued by the January 6th Committee. The resolution targets Stephen K. Bannon, Mark Meadows, Daniel Scavino, Jr., and Peter K. Navarro. It also seeks to withdraw contempt of Congress recommendations against these individuals and requests that the Speaker of the House inform the Department of Justice about these actions.

In his statement, Congressman Burlison criticized the committee's actions: “It is long overdue for Congress to reverse the disgraceful overreach of the illegitimate January 6th Committee. This committee was a sham from day one, built on a foundation of partisanship and propaganda. Their aim was clear: to vilify President Trump and punish anyone who dared to stand by him."

Burlison further commented on what he perceives as wrongful imprisonment: “Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon were wrongfully imprisoned by Joe Biden's corrupt regime that used the power of the federal government to go after their political opponents and throw them in jail. We cannot allow this to be the end of the story. We must correct the history books.”

The resolution has garnered support from several original cosponsors, including Representatives Thomas Massie (KY-04), Andy Biggs (AZ-05), Clay Higgins (LA-03), Michael Cloud (TX-27), Randy Weber (TX-14), Andy Ogles (TN-05), Eli Crane (AZ-02), and Keith Self (TX-03).
