Less than a year after he was granted a last-minute pardon by former president Donald Trump, former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon is in FBI custody once more. The conservative podcast host and former Breitbart News chairman surrendered himself at the FBI’s Washington Field Office shortly after 9.30 am yesterday after emerging from a black SUV dressed in a green winter jacket and black shirt.
As he walked towards the building, he stopped briefly to address a camera which was live-streaming his surrender for his War Room podcast. He told his viewers: “I don’t want anybody to take their eye off the ball, what we do every day” and declared that he and his supporters were “taking down the Biden regime” while calling the case against him “all noise, not signal”.
On Friday, a District of Columbia grand jury indicted Mr Bannon on two counts of criminal contempt of Congress, the result of a referral by the House of Representatives last month after he defied a subpoena commanding him to give evidence before the House select committee investigating the 6 January insurrection.
Committee members believe Mr Bannon, who on the 5 January edition of War Room declared that “all hell” would “break loose” the next day, when Congress was schedule to meet in joint session to certify President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win, has information about what White House and Trump campaign officials may have known about the day’s events.
