House Republicans keep trying to rewrite history about the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, with the latest effort directed at throwing the tiniest bone to Steve Bannon while he waits behind bars.
The far-right media personality is currently serving four months at a federal prison in Connecticut for ignoring a congressional subpoena. (The House’s Jan. 6 Committee sought Bannon’s testimony while it investigated the attack on the Capitol building, and Bannon refused to sit for an interview.)
But now, the GOP wants to bolster one of Bannon’s legal arguments without actually siding with him.
