Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon indicted on 2 counts by a federal grand jury for refusing to comply with House Jan 6th Committee
Things to know:
🔴- The counts are both criminal misdemeanors (2 U.S. Code § 192 - Refusal of witness to testify or produce papers)
- Charges are in the DC District, but Bannon should have the opportunity to contest responding the contempt charges in local US District Court; most likely the Southern District of Florida (SDFL)
- These types of Contempt of Congress charges are usually brought as civil cases if brought at all, not criminal. This represents an egregious escalation and further weaponization of the Dept. of Justice to target political opponents.
- The House Select Committee only has the power to subpoena information pertinent to drafting new legislation. The Jan 6th is not an Investigative Commission. That proposal was rejected by Republicans back in May.
