The prosecution against former Trump political adviser Steve Bannon inched toward a conclusion Wednesday after the Justice Department presented evidence that Bannon flouted multiple warnings that he risked criminal charges for defying a subpoena and rested its case.
Outside the courthouse afterwards, Bannon spoke briefly to reporters. He asked why Jan. 6 committee Chairman Bennie Thompson wasn't present to defend his committee, which he called a "show trial." Bannon did not answer questions about whether he would call witnesses or testify in his own defense.
