House Republicans to cite Bannon precedent in FBI Director Wray contempt caseπͺ
House Republicans may soon look to the case of Stephen Bannon in their effort to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress.
GOP lawmakers say they plan to move forward with a contempt of Congress vote as soon as next week. If successful, that would result in a criminal referral to the Department of Justice, which would then decide whether to seek charges against Wray.
When the Justice Department faced the decision to indict Bannon, a onetime adviser to former President Donald Trump, over the same type of referral, the agency moved ahead with a case that Republicans are preparing to cite as a precedent.
