US lawmakers have voted to hold Steven Bannon, a key ally of ex-president Donald Trump, in criminal contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena to testify before a panel investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol. The House of Representatives has voted to refer him to federal prosecutors to make a decision on whether to press charges, although the ensuing legal battle would likely play out over several months, potentially frustrating the probe.

The man who set himself on fire outside the court where Donald Trump is standing trial is in "critical condition" at a burn center in New York, authorities tell reporters.

Eventually, FPNY (New York Fire Patrol) respond, (they) were able to extinguish the fire," Chief Maddrey tells a press conference on the scene, outside the court where Donald Trump is standing trial.
