Former Trump administration adviser Steve Bannon surrenders at the FBI Washington Field Office in Washington, D.C., on Monday. He's been charged with two counts of contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena from the Jan. 6 committee.
Steve Bannon, former President Donald Trump's onetime top adviser who was indicted last week for defying a congressional subpoena related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, surrendered to federal authorities and appeared in court on Monday.
He later made a brief court appearance in federal magistrate court and is expected to return to court and be arraigned Thursday.
A federal grand jury indicted Bannon last week on two counts, one for failing to appear for a deposition with the House committee and one for failing to produce documents in response to its subpoena.
Each count carries a minimum of 30 days in jail and a maximum of one year, as well as a fine ranging from $100 to $1,000. Prosecutors in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia will oversee the criminal case.
