The Republican National Committee will consider a resolution on Friday to censure two of the party's most vocal critics of former President Donald Trump: Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) and Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.).

Cheney and Kinzinger are also the only Republicans on the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. RNC member and resolution co-sponsor Harmeet Dhillon told CBS News the resolution was passed by committee on Thursday afternoon, and the full vote will take place during Friday's RNC meeting in Salt Lake City.
