Steve Bannon stood outside of a Washington courthouse eight months ago and declared that charging him for failing to cooperate with the Jan. 6 committee would be “the misdemeanor from hell” for top Democrats.
On Monday, the long-time Donald Trump adviser will find out if the tables have turned.
Bannon, 68, finally goes on trial on criminal contempt charges relating to the congressional probe of the Capitol riot in what promises to be a circus of accusations, brash pronouncements and politics playing out daily in front of the media. Bannon spent months trying to get his case dismissed or delayed, going as far as making a last-ditch offer a week ago to testify to the committee after all. But the Justice Department was unmoved.
