Former top Trump Advisor Steve Bannon has now turned himself in to authorities after being indicted by the Justice Department for contempt of Congress.
Former top Trump Advisor Steve Bannon has now turned himself in to authorities after being indicted by the Justice Department for contempt of Congress.
The Details:
Biden was indicted on two counts of contempt of Congress after he refused to appear before Congress and provide information to the Committee investigating the January 6th attack on the US Capitol.
Bannon surrendered at the FBI’s Washington Field Office at approximately 9:30 AM on Monday.
Why it Matters: Bannon remains a major force in the Pro-Trump conservative world and his arrest signals what is likely to be the beginning of a major legal face off between the Justice Department and members of former President Trump’s inner circle.
What Liberals are Saying:
A grand jury just indicted Steve Bannon for contempt of Congress.

Let this send a message to all those with knowledge of the attack on our democracy:
The days of defying subpoenas with impunity are over.
We will expose those responsible for Jan 6.
No one is above the law.
No one should be above the law. Not the former President, not his staff, not Members of Congress and not Steve Bannon. https://t.co/SYcAx4MG1S

What Conservatives are Saying:
Steve Bannon is innocent and didn't do anything wrong. The real people Congress should go after are the Communists who have infiltrated our government.
