Steven Bannon, the one time adviser to former U.S. President Donald Trump, has been arrested on two counts of contempt of Congress. Bannon defied congressional subpoenas to appear in the legislature to answer questions about his alleged role in the January 6, 2021 Capitol riots, which resulted in fatalities and endangered Congress and former Vice President, Mike Pence.

Today, Bannon surrendered to the FBI on the charges. If convicted of the charges, Bannon could face 2-years in prison. The arrest of Bannon is the FBI and congressional democrats way of trying to scupper Trump running for office again in the 2024 presidential election. Democrats and the FBI are targeting people in Trump's circle.

Bannon stated upon his arrest, "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. We're tired of playing defense. We're gonna go on the offense on this and standby." Bannon stated Trump ordered him not to cooperate, citing "executive privilege" as the reason for not doing so.
