'This is a warning shot': Former prosecutor says other subpoena defiers should heed Bannon's indictment
On CNN Friday, former federal prosecutor Elie Honig said that the indictment of former White House adviser Steve Bannon for contempt of Congress should be a wake-up call to other Trump allies attempting to blow off subpoenas from the January 6 Capitol riot committee.
"No doubt that these other former Trump associates who have been subpoenaed, they're going to really be worried about not only facing potential charges, but enormous legal expenses at the same time, right?" said anchor Wolf Blitzer.
"It's definitely not cheap to defend yourself in any criminal case, especially a federal case," said Honig. "This is a warning shot to [Mark] Meadows, [Dan] Scavino, on down the line, you know they're paying attention."
Meadows in particular could be vulnerable, as he has refused to provide testimony to the committee despite warnings he too will be subject to a contempt referral.
