Steve Bannon says he won't comply with January 6 panel's subpoena

Former President Trump's White House chief strategist, Steve Bannon, says he will not comply with a House committee's demand for records and testimony related to the January 6 Capitol riots.
The January 6 select committee issued subpoenas in late September to four of Mr. Trump's former aides and close allies, including Bannon. The witnesses were given a Thursday deadline to reply to the request for documents, while depositions are scheduled next week.
In a response to the panel obtained by CBS News, Bannon's attorney said he was following the direction of the former president's legal team. A lawyer for Mr. Trump, Justin Clark, instructed the four witnesses to defy the committee's demands, contending it sought information that was "unquestionably protected from disclosure by the executive and other privileges."
