I don’t think Jane Tapper will press him on it, or on anything really difficult. It seems to me that Tapper has made his decision to get along with the new power structure at CNN.

NEW: Former White House aide Kellyanne Conway is meeting in person right now with the Jan 6 committee sources tell

Conway was not subpoenaed publicly & the committee won’t say if she was appearing voluntarily.

Conway was spotted by pooler

Former U.S. Secret Service agent and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Anthony Ornato is slated to be interviewed on Tuesday before the House committee investigating the January 6th attack, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

NEW: The Jan. 6 committee had its final planned interview today and now turns to unfinished business. Chairman Thompson tells me potential perjury referrals will be among its final considerations.

For who? “Stay tuned.”

House Jan 6 Committee chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) tells reporters the committee *will* make criminal referral(s) .. but didn't yet reveal against whom

Time is running short. Committee must wrap work by end of month

The House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, insurrection is considering criminal referrals for at least four individuals in addition to former President Donald Trump, multiple sources told CNN.

The panel is weighing criminal referrals for former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, right wing lawyer John Eastman, former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark and Trump’s former lawyer Rudy Giuliani, the sources said.

The committee has not officially decided whom to refer to the Justice Department for prosecution and for what offenses, sources said. The four individuals who are among those under consideration, and whose names have not been previously reported, provide a window into the panel’s deliberations.

While the criminal referrals would largely be symbolic in nature – as the DOJ has already undertaken a sprawling investigation into the US Capitol attack and efforts to overturn the 2020 election – committee members have stressed that the move serves as a way to document their views for the record.

A spokesperson for the January 6 committee declined to comment.

So nothing, like we've seen before.

I disagree. Having a criminal referral from a bipartisan Congressional Committee certainly gives DoJ cover from any cries of political prosecution. Notwithstanding that what's left of the Republican Party doesn't consider them to be real Republicans.

What the Jan. 6 select committee’s final report will look like
A large executive summary describes former President Donald Trump’s culpability for his extensive and baseless effort to subvert the 2020 election, according to people briefed on its contents.

Rep. Bennie Thompson, the chairman of the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, insurrection, told reporters the committee will hold its final public meeting on Monday and that the panel’s full report will come out December 21.

Thompson, a Democrat from Mississippi, said the committee will approve the panel’s final report on December 19 and make announcements about criminal referrals to the Justice Department, but the public will not see the final report until two days later.

“We will do all of the business of the committee on the 19th,” Thompson said, which includes voting on the final report.

MORE: Chairman Thompson says the select committee will have what is likely to be its final meeting (to vote on its report and referrals) at 1 pm on *Dec. 19*

, who tells reporters they're trying to get their report to the printer by noon today, referrals are "done" and we'll get just about everything on Monday - just probably not transcripts, etc.
