In this episode, Jessica Yellin speaks with Professor India Thusi of Indiana University’s Maurer School of Law. They discuss the case of former chief strategist to President Trump, Steven K. Bannon and his failure to comply with a federal subpoena about the events of January 6th, 2021. 

The select committee panel is scheduled to vote on the contempt charge against Bannon on Tuesday, October 19th and is expected to approve the charge. A vote could then be taken up by the full House of Representatives in short order. 

The possibility of holding Bannon in Contempt of Congress, a misdemeanor criminal offense, could result in up to one year in prison and a fine of up to $100,000. Criminal contempt can only be pursued by the Justice Department.

In addition to Bannon, the committee has subpoenaed documents and testimony from other key Trump advisers, including former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, former deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino and Kash Patel, a former national security and Defense Department aide.

India Thusi holds a Ph.D. in Social Anthropology and Law & Society and is a Professor of Law at the Indiana University Maurer School of Law with a joint appointment at the Kinsey Institute. Her articles and essays have been published in numerous law journals and she served as a federal law clerk in the US at the Constitutional Court of South Africa, that nation’s highest court.​​ She is currently a Fulbright U.S. Global Scholar.

As we approach the 9/11 anniversary, we sat down with journalist Peter Bergen, one of the leading experts on Osama bin Laden. I spoke with him about his fantastic book — “The Rise and Fall is Osama bin Laden.” We discussed why he believes we are safer today - 20 years after the terrorist attacks. What the exit from Afghanistan means for US security and why he believes that the real threat inside the US comes from radicalized domestic terrorists. He is one of the very few western journalists to have met Osama bin Laden.
