Zoe Lofgren: Pat Cipollone Jan 6 committee testimony did not contradict previous witnesses
Former White House strategist Steve Bannon will testify before the January 6 committee, Rep Zoe Lofgren has revealed.
Mr Bannon’s attorney has written to the committee stating his willingness to drop his opposition to the committee’s subpoena, Ms Lofgren told CNN on Sunday.
Mr Bannon’s testimony will likely occur behind closed doors over the course of several hours, as was the case with previous witnesses called by the committee, according to the January 6 House committee member.
The committee is set to hold a hearing today focusing on how the crowd that attacked the Capitol was convened, and in particular the extremist groups who took part. A hearing planned for Thursday has been postponed until an unspecified later date as the panel continues to receive a deluge of new information.
Meanwhile, a Georgia judge has ordered US Senator Lindsey Graham to sit before a grand jury as part of an investigation into Donald Trump’s attempts to subvert the outcome of the 2020 presidential election in the state.
