A federal grand jury returned an indictment on two counts of contempt of Congress related to Bannon's refusal to appear for his deposition and supply discovery material. Bannon defied the January 6th committee's demand for production of material and skipped a scheduled deposition. In the Trump era, there would have been no price for that conduct, but Attorney General Merrick Garland's DOJ has a different mindset than Bill Barr's. In a statement, Garland wrote, "Since my first day in office, I have promised Justice Department employees that together we would show the American people by word and deed that the department adheres to the rule of law, follows the facts and the law and pursues equal justice under the law.
