House Republicans File Amicus Briefs Supporting Bannon in Contempt Case

GOP leaders challenge legitimacy of Jan. 6 committee as Bannon seeks to avoid prison sentence

House Republicans voted to file briefs in support of Steve Bannon's appeal against his contempt of Congress conviction.
The briefs argue that the Jan. 6 committee was illegitimately constituted and violated House rules.
Bannon was sentenced to four months in prison for defying subpoenas from the Jan. 6 committee.
The Supreme Court is considering Bannon's emergency appeal to stay out of jail.
House GOP leaders claim the committee's work was tainted and that evidence was improperly destroyed.
