'Sworn to Silence'

After Greene finished speaking Bannon didn't give his opinion on the vote.

 

The issued cropped up later in the podcast during a conversation with GOP strategist Boris Epshteyn, who also condemned Democrats and defended Bannon, whom he called an "American hero."

 

Just prior to that exchange, Bannon hinted that he was unable to talk about the case, "don't make me get the lawyers involved here," adding he was "sworn to silence."

 

Thursday's vote sets up a referral to the Department of Justice, which will decide whether to prosecute. Attorney General Merrick Garland told a House Judiciary Committee hearing: "We'll apply the facts and the law and make a decision, consistent with the principles of prosecution."
