Steve Bannon, former President Donald Trump’s political strategist, was indicted by a grand jury Friday on two charges of criminal contempt for defying a House subpoena. The Department of Justice's decision to charge Bannon came after the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol subpoenaed Bannon and others for documents and testimony about what led to the riot. Bannon, 67, is scheduled to surrender Monday to authorities and make his first court appearance that day. Bannon is charged with one contempt count involving his refusal to appear for a deposition and another involving his refusal to produce documents, despite a subpoena from the House committee. An arraignment date hasn't yet been set in the U.S. District Court. Each count carries a minimum of 30 days and a maximum of one year in jail, as well as a fine of $100 to $1,000. A criminal prosecution is a more serious escalation than the House’s civil enforcement of subpoenas during the wide-ranging investigations of the Trump administration.
