In reply to the discussion: Well lookie lookie - Meadows, Patel 'engaging with' Jan. 6 committee as Bannon faces possible [View all]malaise
(298,220 posts)26. From Bannon's lawyer
https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/bannon-won-t-comply-with-subpoena-from-u-s-house-jan-6-panel-1.5616831
A lawyer for Steve Bannon says the former White House aide won't comply with a House committee's investigation into the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol because former U.S. President Donald Trump is asserting executive privilege to block demands for testimony and documents.
Two other witnesses subpoenaed by the panel, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and former Pentagon aide Kash Patel, are engaging with the committee, according to its Democratic chairman, Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, and Republican vice chairwoman, Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming. Thompson and Cheney issued a statement Friday after a deadline for document production had passed.
Though the Select Committee welcomes good faith engagement with witnesses seeking to cooperate with our investigation, we will not allow any witness to defy a lawful subpoena or attempt to run out the clock, and we will swiftly consider advancing a criminal contempt of Congress referral, the two lawmakers said.
A spokesman for the panel declined to comment on the status of a fourth witness, former Trump communications aide Dan Scavino.

Good luck with that Bannon -NOT!
