Steve Bannon says he's 'willing' to testify before the House Jan. 6 committee after receiving a letter from former President Trump waiving executive privilege, according to letters obtained by NBCNews.
WASHINGTON — Former White House strategist Steve Bannon has said he's"willing" to testify before the House Jan. 6 committee after receiving a letter from former President Donald Trump waiving executive privilege, according to two letters obtained by NBC News on Sunday.
“I will waive Executive Privilege for you, which allows for you to go in and testify truthfully and fairly, as per the request of the Unselect Committee of political Thugs and Hacks, who have allowed no Due Process, no Cross-Examination, and no real Republican members or witnesses to be present or interviewed. It is a partisan Kangaroo Court,” the letter says.
Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., a member of the Jan. 6 committee, said Sunday on CNN's"State of the Union" that the committee had received a letter from Bannon's lawyer overnight saying that he would testify.
