House to vote on holding Bannon in contempt

The House will vote Thursday to hold former President Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon in contempt for defying a subpoena from the panel investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Bannon was reportedly talking to Trump in the days leading up to Jan. 6, encouraging him to focus on the electoral process – when lawmakers were meeting to count the Electoral College votes to confirm the victory of now-President Joe Biden. The Jan. 6 committee, co-chaired by Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wy., voted unanimously Tuesday to hold Bannon in Congressional contempt. Bannon served in Trump’s first campaign for president, then as White House chief strategist for the first few months of the Trump presidency until he left in August 2017.
