Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon was taken into federal custody on Monday to face contempt charges over his refusal to cooperate with Democrats' January 6 congressional investigation. He will appear before a judge later in the day.
Bannon surrendered himself to an FBI field office - where he briefly spoke with the press.

As we noted on Friday...
The Biden DOJ has indicted former Trump adviser Steve Bannon over his refusal to cooperate with a congressional investigation of the Jan. 6 "Stop the Steal" rally.
Bannon was slapped with two counts - failure to appear to give testimony, and failure to produce "documents and communications," or "provide a log of any withheld records."
The move follows an October vote by the House of Representatives to hold Bannon in contempt Congress - alleging that he refused a subpoena to provide documents and testimony to the panel.
It has not gone unnoticed that former Attorney General Eric Holder was held in contempt of Congress over his similar failure to turn over documents related to the Fast and Furious scandal.
