Is there double jeopardy protection for a Contempt of Congress conviction?
<p>So a person is subpoenaed by Congress to provide documents and give a deposition. The person refuses, is indicted and convicted. Can the person then be subpoenaed again for documents and testimony and then go through the process (indictment, conviction, etc) again.</p>
<p>In other words, aside from the 1 year maximum sentence and small monetary fine for a contempt charge, is there anything else Congress can do to compel the provision of evidence (a warrant be issued for documents, etc.)?</p>

<p>Double jeopardy applies to the same facts, not to the same sorts of crimes.</p>
<p>Say if you are tried and acquitted of murder of person A, that won't later save you from being tried for murder of person B.</p>
<p>Same applies to your question: if the documents/testimony on the second occasion are different from the first occasion, there is no protection. If they are the same, there is.</p>
