Steve Bannon was ordered to report to prison on July 1st to begin a 4 month sentence for contempt of court after failing to comply with a lawful subpoena issued by the January 6th Committee.

Second, Lieu also pointed out how Democrats like Bob Menendez and Hunter Biden have been pursued, again showing what a joke Republican claims are of a "rigged" Department of Justice.
