Jury selection begins in Steve Bannon\u0027s criminal trial who faces charges that he defied a congressional subpoena in the Jan. 6 probe.
Bannon, 68, is facing two misdemeanour counts of contempt of Congress after he declined to provide testimony or documents to the Democratic-led House of Representatives select committee.
Bannon had unsuccessfully tried to persuade U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols to delay the trial, arguing that the committee’s high-profile public hearings could make it harder to assemble an impartial jury. The committee plans to hold another hearing on Thursday evening, aimed at reaching a broad television audience. Bannon’s trial will likely still be going on at that point. Nichols said on Monday it could extend into next week.
A video of Steve Bannon, talk show host and former White House advisor to former President Donald Trump, is seen displayed on a screen, during the third of eight planned public hearings of the U.S. House Select Committee to investigate the Jan. 6 Attack on the United States Capitol, on Capitol Hill in Washington, June 16, 2022.
