Steve Bannon goes on trial for defying Jan. 6 panel subpoena

..."Bannon was indicted in November on two counts of contempt of Congress after he failed to appear for a deposition before the committee or provide requested documents in response to a subpoena. He has pleaded not guilty.

If convicted, Bannon faces a minimum sentence of 30 days and a maximum of one year in prison for each count.

The trial is going ahead despite Bannon's two last-minute attempts to delay it, both of which were rejected by Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointee.

It will take place in the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., just down the street from the Capitol building, which was stormed by Trump supporters on Jan. 6, 2021, and in the shadow of a series of public hearings laying out what the committee has learned so far. The last of those hearings, focused on what Trump did during the attack, is scheduled for Thursday."...

To paraphrase Trump:
Lock him up!
