Kinzinger on Bannon conviction: ‘You’ll pay the price’ for ignoring congressional subpoena by Lexi Lonas - 07/24/22 11:09 AM ET
Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) said the conviction of Steve Bannon on Friday was reflective of a price people pay for ignoring a congressional subpoena after a jury found Bannon to be in contempt of Congress.
“It’s good. I mean, justice, right? Come in, you can plead the fifth if you want in front of our committee but you can’t ignore a congressional subpoena or you’ll pay the price,” Kinzinger told co-host Jonathan Karl on ABC’s “This Week”
“That’s to any future witnesses too,” he added.
A federal jury convicted Bannon of two counts of contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
The 68-year-old political strategist, who served as former President Trump’s campaign CEO and White House adviser, faces a minimum sentence of 30 days and a maximum of one year in jail for each count.
