Kinzinger says he hopes Bannon indictment sends 'chilling message'

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) said Friday hopes that Steve Bannon’s indictment for failing to comply with the committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol sends a “chilling message."
A federal grand jury indicted one-time White House adviser to former President Trump on Friday for two charges of contempt of Congress for failing to appear for an Oct. 14 deposition before the panel and for refusing to provide documents.
Kinzinger--- one of two Republicans who sits on the Jan. 6 panel--- told CNN’s “The Lead with Jake Tapper” that the indictment shows that those who are asked to speak to the panel in future “cannot ignore Congress.”
“The reality is, you may not like it--- you may not like the investigation. You may think nothing wrong was done, but you're not going to be able to avoid it,” Kinzinger said.
“So, this is certainly a good thing and I hope it sends a chilling message to anybody else who was going to follow through like this,” he continued.
