Summary

The House voted this week to find former White House aide and long-time ally of former President Trump, Steve Bannon in criminal contempt of Congress after defying a subpoena to appear before the select committee investigating the January 6th riot. It's now up to the Department of Justice to determine whether they will bring up charges against Bannon. Jared and FOX News Correspondent David Spunt discuss what's next for the former Trump advisor. Plus, they talk about Attorney General Merrick Garland Capitol Hill testimony. We are two weeks away from Election Day in Virginia as voters get ready to choose their next Governor. A recent Monmouth University Poll shows former Democratic Governor Terry McAuliffe and Republican nominee Glenn Youngkin deadlocked at 46% among registered voters in the state. The outcome of the race could send a big signal to Washington and the Biden administration as we look down the road towards the upcoming Midterm elections. Fox News Radio Political Analyst, Josh Kraushaar breaks down the race and what to look out for as we approach Election Day. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
