Jessica Schneider at CNN is reporting that a federal grand jury has handed down an indictment for Steve Bannon. Prosecutors reportedly presented the indictment along with an arrest warrant to a federal judge on Friday afternoon. x«Bannon, 67, 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 Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol,» DOJ confirms.— Kaitlan Collins (@kaitlancollins) November 12, 2021 The need to empanel a federal grand jury would definitely explain where a lot of the time went since Bannon's citation was referred by the House.
