Steve Bannon, former White House’s chief strategist for 45th President Donald Trump, was indicted Friday, according to Joe Biden’s Justice Department, for two counts of contempt of Congress after he defied a congressional subpoena from the House committee investigating the January 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol. The Justice Department said Bannon was indicted on one count for refusing to appear for a deposition and the other for refusing to provide documents in response to the committee’s subpoena, as previously reported by The Freedom Times.
Bannon appeared before a D.C. court on Monday, and had urged supporters outside of the FBI Office in D.C. to focus on “signal, not noise”. He later vowed to deliver Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, and Nancy Pelosi the “misdemeanor from hell” after emerging from court.

After Bannon emerged from the D.C. federal courthouse on Monday, he vowed to deliver Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, and Nancy Pelosi the “misdemeanor from hell”.
“I’m telling you right now, this is gonna be the misdemeanor from hell for Merrick Garland, Nancy Pelosi, and Joe Biden. Joe Biden ordered Merrick Garland to prosecute me from the White House lawn when he got off Marine One. And we’re gonna go on the offense,” Bannon said.
“We’re tired of playing defense, we’re gonna go on the offense on this, and stand by. By the way, you should understand that Nancy Pelosi is taking on Donald Trump and Steve Bannon. She ought to ask Hillary Clinton how that turned out for them, okay? We’re going on the offense,” he fired off.

“Remember, what we’re doing is taking on the illegitimate Biden regime. Don’t ever let this noise up here take you off message.”

In an email statement on Sunday, 45th President Trump slammed the “radicalized” left and suggested that no one has faced persecution like Steve Bannon.
This Country has perhaps never done to anyone what they have done to Steve Bannon and they are looking to do it to others, also. If they would be so tough with China, Russia, and the world, who no longer respects us, maybe our Country would not be failing at a level at which we have never seen before. We never talk about making our Country great, and it is now heading in an unthinkable direction with the Afghanistan withdrawal, open Borders, Inflation, Woke everything, and so much more. The USA is a radicalized mess!
