Steve Bannon’s legal team has issued subpoenas to top Democrats and members of the controversial Jan. 6 House Committee in a development in Bannon’s ongoing contempt of Congress case.

In October 2021, the Democrat-led House voted to certify a contempt of Congress charge against Bannon, who had refused a subpoena from the Jan. 6 panel, asserting a right to executive privilege as a former White House staff member.
