Kinzinger--- one of two Republicans who sits on the Jan. 6 panel--- told CNN’s “The Lead with Jake Tapper” that the indictment shows that those who are asked to speak to the panel in future “cannot ignore Congress.”  

“The reality is, you may not like it--- you may not like the investigation. You may think nothing wrong was done, but you're not going to be able to avoid it,” Kinzinger said. 

“So, this is certainly a good thing and I hope it sends a chilling message to anybody else who was going to follow through like this,” he continued. 

The indictment came hours after former White House chief of staff Mark MeadowsMark MeadowsSteve Bannon indicted by federal grand jury The Hill's 12:30 Report: Biden taps Obama official as FDA chief just ahead of deadline Meadows defies Jan. 6 committee, risking contempt charges MORE failed to appear for a deposition with the panel earlier in the day.  

The House voted to censure Bannon in late October after he refused to meet with the committee, taking directions from Trump who said he would exert executive privilege over the committee’s move. The committee has largely rejected Trump’s arguments on executive privilege, arguing that President BidenJoe BidenFederal appeals court affirms stay on Biden vaccine mandate for businesses Why Democrats' prescription drug pricing provision would have hurt seniors Tennessee governor signs law restricting COVID-19 mandates MORE currently holds that authority.

The panel subpoenaed Bannon for details on any involvement Trump had with planning the Jan. 6 rally, as well as any conversations he had with anyone else with the White House about Trump’s remarks during the rally.

The committee also asked about activities at the Willard Hotel, where Trump’s team established a “war room” for pushing Trump’s false voter fraud claims and where Bannon attended a meeting a day before the rally.

“We just want answers, that’s what the American people deserve, regardless of what side of the political spectrum they’re on,” Kinzinger told Tapper. “And most importantly that is what the future history deserve: a full accounting of that day free of conspiracies, free of lies and free of politics.”
