President Joe Biden said on Wednesday he believed Mark Meadows, chief of staff to his predecessor Donald Trump, deserves to be held in contempt of Congress for his refusal to honor a subpoena related to the Jan. 6 insurrection on the U.S. Capitol.

“I don’t know enough – just what I’ve seen, I’ve not spoken to anyone. It seems to me he is worthy of being held in contempt,” Biden said in answer to a reporter’s question on the issue. Biden made the brief remark before leaving the White House for a visit to tornado-hit Kentucky.
