Former top White House presidential adviser Steve Bannon accuses US President Joe Biden of inciting left-wing extremists to “assassinate” his opponents using false alarm raids by heavily armed police units.

Steve Bannon, a former top advisor to US President Donald Trump and an influential right-wing figure, has been convicted of two counts of contempt of Congress by a federal jury.

Steve Bannon, who helped bring Donald Trump to the White House, is now on trial for refusing to testify about the January 6, 2021 assault on the US Capitol.

A US judge on Wednesday ordered the Justice Department to provide former President Donald Trump's adviser Steve Bannon access to certain sensitive internal legal opinions or other related records that could potentially help bolster his defense against criminal contempt of Congress charges.

Steve Bannon, a longtime aide to former US President Donald Trump, has filed a motion to plead not guilty to criminal contempt of Congress charges after he failed to comply with a subpoena from the House January 6 select committee.

American political analyst Myles Hoenig says Trump’s adviser Steve “Bannon’s indictment is unusual, and is a political act as well as a legal one.”

Congressman Adam Kinzinger has said that the indictment of Steve Bannon for failing to comply with a congressional committee investigating the January 6 assault on the Capitol may send a “chilling message."
