Zoe Lofgren Says Committee Has 'Many Questions' For Bannon
With his criminal trial for contempt of Congress approaching, the Jan. 6 committee received a letter from Steve Bannon's attorney saying he would testify. It appears that Bannon prefers not to go to prison. Bannon was involved in former President Donald Trump's attempt to overturn the 2020 election. How many times will he plead the Fifth?
Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren confirmed to CNN's Jake Tapper that he is expected to testify, and she said, "We have many questions" for Bannon.
Via The New York Times:
His decision is a remarkable about-face for Mr. Bannon, who until Saturday had been among the most obstinate and defiant of the committee's potential witnesses. He had promised to turn the criminal case against him into the "misdemeanor from hell" for the Justice Department.
But with the possibility of two years in jail and large fines looming on the horizon, Mr. Bannon has been authorized to testify by Mr. Trump, his attorney told the committee in a letter late on Saturday.
