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.

Two things died recently. First, Republican dignity when Ted Lieu was done listing all of Trump's associates who are convicted felons--criminals--just like he is. Lieu went on a rant that laid out perfectly why Trump is so unfit to clean floors much less be President.
And the best part, Lieu made sure to remind Trump whose choices it was that got him where he is, and he didn't do it nicely
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.
