Steve Bannon surrendered to the FBI following his indictment on contempt of Congress charges
Steve Bannon, a longtime ally of former President Donald, surrendered to the FBI Monday morning following his indictment on contempt of Congress charges.
But Jan. 6 investigators are hopeful that the real effect of Bannon’s indictment is on other potential witnesses — like former Trump adviser Michael Flynn — who might rethink outright defiance rather than risk prosecution. Bannon also insisted that support for his cause is growing among minorities, although what prompted his comments on that point was unclear.
Bannon faces two misdemeanor contempt of Congress charges: one for refusing to testify and another for refusing to turn over subpoenaed documents. He faces a maximum penalty of one year in prison and a minimum penalty of one month in jail on each charge, if convicted.
