Former Trump White House strategist Steve Bannon has told the House committee investigating the attack that he's now willing to testify.
WASHINGTON -- Steve Bannon, a former White House strategist and ally of Donald Trump who faces criminal charges after months of defying a congressional subpoena over the Capitol riot, has told the House committee investigating the attack that he is now willing to testify.
"If you reach an agreement on a time and place for your testimony, I will waive executive privilege for you, which allows for you to go in and testify truthfully and fairly, as per the request of the unselect committee of political thugs and hacks," Trump wrote. It comes after surprise testimony last month from former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson provided the most compelling evidence yet that Trump could be linked to a federal crime. Since then, the committee has seen an influx of new information and confidential tips.
"The way that we have treated every single witness is the same, that they come in, they talk to the committee there," Raskin said."If they're going to take a deposition, they're sworn under oath. It's videotaped. It's recorded, and then we take it from there."
