Bannon Closer To Criminal Contempt

Members of the House Select Committee of January 6th have unanimously decided to recommend that the full House find former Trump associate Steve Bannon in contempt of congress for failing to appear. Democratic Rep. Elaine Luria, who serves on the House committee, says Congress “will use all of the tools that [it has] in order to enforce a law and to receive [Bannon’s] testimony.” If the house succeeds in voting to hold Bannon in contempt, the Justice Department will then decide whether to pursue charges. The House committee’s opening statements and vote are included in tonight’s show.
