Jury selection is scheduled to begin today in the trial of Steve Bannon, a one-time adviser to former President Donald Trump who faces criminal contempt of Congress charges.

after refusing for months to cooperate with the House committee investigating the U.S. Capitol insurrection

Bannon is charged in Washington's federal court with defying a subpoena from the Jan. 6 committee that sought his records and testimony. He was indicted in November on two counts of criminal contempt of Congress, one month after the Justice Department received a congressional referral. Each count carries a minimum of 30 days of jail and as long as a year behind bars.

Trump has repeatedly asserted executive privilege — even as a former president — to try to block witness testimony and the release of White House documents. The Supreme Court in January ruled against Trump's efforts to stop the National Archives from cooperating with the committee after a lower court judge noted, in part, "Presidents are not kings."
