Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon agrees to Jan 6 probe

Published

on

Donald Trump’s former close adviser Steve Bannon has agreed to testify to the panel investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol

US media reports the former advisor has made the offer, however terms of his appearance are still to be worked out.

His change of heart was reported by CNN, the New York Times and Washington Post ahead of a July 18 trial for Bannon on two charges of criminal contempt.

The reports claim Bannon’s lawyer has written to the House of Representatives committee to say Trump would waive the claim of executive privilege which Bannon had cited in refusing to testify.

It’s unclear whether Bannon will agree to the committee’s practice of privately interviewing witnesses before possible public testimony.

“Ordinarily, we do depositions,” Representative Zoe Lofgren told CNN. “This goes on for hour after hour after hour. We want to get all our questions answered. And you can’t do that in a live format.”

Lofgren added, “There are many questions that we have for him.”

Under oath

Throughout the select committee’s hearings, videotaped snippets of closed-door testimony by witnesses under oath have been shown to the public.

The House panel said it had no comment on the possibility of Bannon testifying, and Costello did not immediately respond to queries from Reuters. The committee is due to hold public hearings on Tuesday and Thursday this week.
