BREAKING: Speaker Johnson says House to file amicus brief for Steve Bannon’s appeal

House Speaker Mike Johnson said that the House plans on filing an amicus brief in Steve Bannon's appeal for his contempt of Congress case that was brought after Bannon ignored a subpoena from the January 6 Committee.  

In an appearance on Fox News on Tuesday, Johnson was speaking to Sean Hannity when he announced the amicus brief for Bannon's appeal to the Supreme Court.

Johnson added that GOP house members have been investigating how the committee was conducted and said that that it may have "violated House rules" and that the brief will be given to the Supreme Court for Bannon's appeal.
