riots took the rare step of subpoenaing a former president of the united states. writing that the efforts to overturn the 2020 election was something he, quote poernly orchestrated and oversaw. committees demanding he sit for a deposition under oath as well as provide documents and communications from over a dozen allies and associates. the response what it is clear is defying the subpoena by the select committee can come a consequences. just today the president s on-again, off-again close advisor often considered the architect of the president s rise was sentenced to prison for defying the very thing the president was served with today. steve bannon was sentenced to four months in prison plus a fine of $6,500 for his refusal to comply with the house s subpoena. the washington post had new details what was in those intelligence documents seized by fbi agents at the former president s residence in mar-a-lago. the post reporting there were documents describing iran s miss
putin. i think he is a rational actor who miscalculated significantly. i don t think there will be a recession. if it is it will be a slight recession. name me a president that has gotten as much done as i have in two years, not a joke. plus the january 6th s argument that donald trump remains a clear and present danger showing new evidence including videotaped accounts from the former president s words. a sit-down with john fetterman puts a spotlight on his recovery from a stroke. up first an important new indicator and it is not good. the price index is rising faster than expected in september. energy and food prices drove the numbers which are interpreted by economists as proof the fed still needs to do more to slow rising costs. that proof of persistent inflation comes just 27 days before we count midterm election votes and as we release new numbers about your midterm mood. president joe biden s approval rating is up some but it is still underwater, 44% of america
how broad the set of documents they re looking for from the former president in addition of course to that testimony. now, we have not heard directly from trump on this, but we did hear from an opportunity representing him saying the committee was flouting norms by making this subpoena public but saying we ll review and analyze it and respond as appropriate to this unprecedented action. so it remains unclear what exactly that s going to mean. is there any reason i don t know what his options are. if the former president defied the subpoena what might happen? look, i think it means what you mean by defies. steve bannon today, if you decide you re not going to look through your documents, not going to engage, not going to attempt to give the committee anything, they they pursue this criminal referral and he was convicted and he was sentenced today. but the former president has hired these attorneys. we could see engagement behind the scenes. they could decide to take the committee
that donald trump that the archives have to release these documents, it doesn t even matter anymore who is participating in the investigation. those documents will tell basically the committee anything it needs to know, everything it needs to know about what happened on january 6th, so i think that s very important for the committee s investigation. jonathan, at the same time, the committee has requested the outtakes, the videotape of the former president s message to the supporter. how critical could that be? one of things they re trying to make the case for is that the president was, at the very least, neglectful in not calling off the riot. i agree with my good friend jake, about the likelihood of criminal referrals later. the house impeached donald trump for inciting the riot.
