<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/u-s-house-of-representatives" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House</a> will submit a filing seeking to &#8220;withdraw&#8221; arguments from the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/january-6-committee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">January 6 Committee</a> as part of the legal battle in which <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/steve-bannon" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Steve Bannon</a>, a close ally to former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a>, is fighting to stay out of prison, GOP leaders said on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/mike-johnson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mike Johnson</a> (R-LA), Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA), and Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) revealed their game plan in a <a href="https://x.com/mkraju/status/1805943436773847063" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> after a vote of the Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group — which POLITICO <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/06/25/bannon-johnson-jan-6-conviction-00165009" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> came down along party lines.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group voted 3-2 to file a brief with the D.C. Circuit in the case against Steve Bannon,&#8221; the group said. &#8220;The amicus brief will be submitted after Bannon files a petition for rehearing en banc and will be in support of neither party.&#8221;</p>
<p>They said the brief will &#8220;withdraw certain arguments made by the House earlier in the litigation about the organization of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol during the prior Congress&#8221; when Democrats led the House.</p>
<p>&#8220;House Republican Leadership continues to believe&#8221; that former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) &#8220;abused her authority when organizing the Select Committee,&#8221; Johnson, Scalise, and Emmer added in concluding their statement.</p>
<p>Democrats rejected two picks by then-Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to be GOP members on the panel, after which he <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/kevin-mccarthy-jan-6-committee-picks-removed-pelosi-rejects-jim-jordan-jim-banks/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">withdrew</a> all his recommendations and Pelosi <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/25/politics/nancy-pelosi-adam-kinzinger-house-select-committee-mccarthy-republicans/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">picked</a> Trump critics Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) to join instead.</p>
<p>A jury <a href="https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/stephen-k-bannon-found-guilty-jury-two-counts-contempt-congress#:~:text=Bannon%20was%20found%20guilty%20by,of%20the%20United%20States%20Capitol." target="_blank" rel="noopener">convicted</a> Bannon, a former Trump aide, on two counts of contempt of Congress in 2022 for not complying with a subpoena from the committee that rejected a <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/18/politics/steve-bannon-response-letter/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claim</a> of executive privilege. He was later given a sentence of four months of incarceration.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, a federal judge ordered Bannon <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/federal-judge-orders-bannon-to-report-to-prison" target="_blank" rel="noopener">to report</a> to prison on July 1, which is Monday. Bannon <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/21/us/politics/bannon-appeal-prison.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asked</a> the Supreme Court to allow him to remain free while fighting the contempt sentence after a federal appeals court panel <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cadc.39203/gov.uscourts.cadc.39203.1208635277.0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denied</a> his request.</p>
<p>Bannon <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/06/26/speaker-mike-johnson-steve-bannon-supreme-court-appeal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told Axios</a> in a text message, responding to plans for the House filing a brief in his case, &#8220;Speaker Johnson and House leadership showed tremendous courage in repudiating the illegally constituted J6 Committee and its activities/investigations.&#8221;</p>
<p>Three other ex-White House officials who refused to cooperate with subpoenas — Peter Navarro, Dan Scavino, and Mark Meadows — were found to be in contempt of Congress for refusing to cooperate with subpoenas from the January 6 Committee.</p>
<p>The Department of Justice <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/03/politics/justice-department-declines-charge-meadows-scavino-january-6/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declined</a> to prosecute Scavino and Meadows, but did open up cases and secure convictions against the others. Navarro, who served as a White House trade adviser, has already begun <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/19/us/politics/peter-navarro-jail-contempt-congress.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">serving</a> a four-month prison sentence.</p>
<p>Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), chairman of the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight, has already <a href="https://justthenews.com/government/congress/key-house-chairman-intervenes-bannon-case-tells-supreme-court-democrat-j6" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed a brief</a> with the Supreme Court, claiming steps taken by the January 6 Committee against Bannon were &#8220;factually and procedurally invalid.&#8221;</p>

<p>A group of more than two dozen <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/house-republicans" target="_blank" rel="noopener">House Republicans</a> have also put forward a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-gop-measure-seeks-to-revoke-january-6-subpoenas-against-trump-associates" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resolution</a> that aims to rescind <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/january-6-committee" target="_blank" rel="noopener">January 6 Committee</a> subpoenas against Trump&#8217;s associates and withdraw recommendations that they be held in contempt of Congress.</p>
<p>Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), chairman of the now-defunct January 6 Committee, <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/jan-6-subpoenas-against-trump-aides-would-revoked-under-new-bill" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told Fox News</a> the resolution &#8220;will have no impact&#8221; and the subpoenas &#8220;were litigated exhaustively, with contempt of Congress charges going as high as the Supreme Court.&#8221;</p>
<p>The GOP-led House <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-votes-to-hold-garland-in-contempt-for-withholding-biden-docs-case-audio" target="_blank" rel="noopener">voted</a> earlier this month to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress because he refused to comply with subpoenas for audio from an investigation into President Joe Biden&#8217;s handling of classified documents.</p>
<p>Johnson vowed to go to court after the Department of Justice refused to prosecute Garland because the president asserted executive privilege over the tapes. Some are pushing to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/luna-plans-to-call-up-vote-on-empowering-house-sergeant-at-arms-to-detain-garland" target="_blank" rel="noopener">empower</a> the House sergeant-at-arms to detain Garland until he complies.</p>
