       The House Jan. 6th Select Committee warned Mark Meadows Tuesday that it will cite him for contempt if he does not appear, after the former White House chief of staff indicated he would refuse to testify

       "Mark Meadows has informed the Select Committee that he does not intend to cooperate further with our investigation despite his apparent willingness to provide details about the facts and circumstances surrounding the January 6th attack, including conversations with President Trump, in the book he is now promoting and selling," Chairman Bennie G. Thompson, D-Miss., and Vice Chair Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., said in a joint statement.

       "Tomorrow’s deposition, which was scheduled at Mr. Meadows’s request, will go forward as planned. If indeed Mr. Meadows refuses to appear, the Select Committee will be left no choice but to advance contempt proceedings and recommend that the body in which Mr. Meadows once served refer him for criminal prosecution."

       "We have made efforts over many weeks to reach an accommodation with the committee," George Terwilliger, Meadows’s attorney, told Fox News.

       Meadows is set to appear on "Hannity" Tuesday evening.
