Schiff says Bannon indictment will encourage others to cooperate
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said on Sunday that Steve Bannon’s indictment will encourage others to cooperate with the House select committee's investigation of the Jan.6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
“Without a doubt. And indeed, even before the Justice Department acted, it influenced other witnesses. … And now that witnesses see that if they don't cooperate, if they don't fulfill their lawful duty when subpoenaed, that they, too, may be prosecuted, it will have a very strong, focusing effect on their decision making,” Schiff told host Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
“So, it's very positive. I view this as an early test of whether our democracy was recovering. If our law is to mean anything, it has to be applied equally. And so, I'm very glad the Justice Department has moved forward in this fashion.”
