In laying out the case for the contempt vote, the nine-member panel released a 51-page report Sunday evening that details its questions about the documents he has already provided.

The panel did not release the documents but described some of them, including details about Meadows efforts' to help Donald Trump overturn his defeat in the presidential election.
