As former Trump advisor Steve Bannon becomes the first person to be charged with criminal contempt of Congress in decades, we look at what this signals for other members of the past administration.

Leading off this week, we look at the ongoing controversy surrounding U.S. President Joe Biden's moves regarding various vaccine mandates, as well as the current court trial on everyone's mind, as we approach the final days (or perhaps even hours) of the Kyle Rittenhouse murder trial. However, as former Trump advisor Steve Bannon becomes the first person to be charged with criminal contempt of Congress in decades, we look at what this means, and why the Justice Department has taken such action... all this and more, on this week's installment of Middle Theory.
