Steve Bannon Gets HUGE News After Being Forced To Report To Prison

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is urging House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to rescind the subpoena issued to former White House strategist Steve Bannon concerning January 6 and to reject the committee’s conclusions.

In May, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Steve Bannon’s felony conviction, maintaining the 2022 decision that found the former Trump adviser guilty of contempt of Congress. Judge Carl Nichols, appointed by former President Donald Trump, revoked Bannon’s bail on Thursday, ruling that the previous reasons for delaying his sentencing were no longer valid. Consequently, Bannon is required to surrender to prison by July 1.

Massie called on Speaker Johnson to take action in a post on X, stating, “Why don’t we rescind the Congressional subpoena for Steve Bannon and officially repudiate the J6 committee by a vote of Congress?”

Following his legal counsel’s advice, Bannon ignored a subpoena from Nancy Pelosi’s January 6 committee, leading to his conviction for contempt of Congress.

The committee, led by former House Speaker Pelosi (D-CA), broke with long-standing congressional tradition by prohibiting then House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) from appointing Republican members. Typically, congressional committees allow the opposition party to choose its own members, but the January 6 committee deviated from this norm.

Instead of following protocol, Pelosi appointed Representatives Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, who are no longer in Congress and support President Biden’s reelection. Kinzinger resigned to avoid a primary defeat, while Cheney lost her primary.

The committee enlisted a Hollywood producer to edit selected footage, which it used to support its narrative of an “insurrection” during primetime hearings. The committee also relied on unverified testimony from several anti-Trump partisans, including Cassidy Hutchinson, a former Trump aide who made an unusual claim about Trump grabbing the steering wheel from Secret Service agents during the January 6 protests. House Republicans are investigating her potential perjury, and Secret Service agents have denied her account.

Nine House Republicans voted to hold Bannon in contempt of Congress. Except for Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) and Nancy Mace (R-SC), all have been voted out or have retired.
