Trump ally Steve Bannon to be held in criminal contempt: US House

Global News published this video item, entitled “Trump ally Steve Bannon to be held in criminal contempt: US House” – below is their description.

Steve Bannon, the former top aide for former U.S. President Donald Trump, has been found in criminal contempt of Congress.

Lawmakers voted to prosecute Bannon after he defied a subpoena by a committee investigating the January 6th riot at the U.S. Capitol.

In a rare show of bipartisanship on the House floor, the committee’s Democratic chairman, Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, led the floor debate along with Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, one of two Republicans on the panel. Still, the vote was 229-202 with all but nine GOP lawmakers who voted saying “no.”

Global’s Jackson Proskow explains why, what the ruling means and what happens next.

In This Story: Vote

Voting is a method for a group, such as a meeting or an electorate, in order to make a collective decision or express an opinion usually following discussions, debates or election campaigns. Democracies elect holders of high office by voting. Residents of a place represented by an elected official are called “constituents”, and those constituents who cast a ballot for their chosen candidate are called “voters”. There are different systems for collecting votes, but while many of the systems used in decision-making can also be used as electoral systems, any which cater for proportional representation can only be used in elections.

In smaller organizations, voting can occur in different ways. Formally via ballot to elect others for example within a workplace, to elect members of political associations or to choose roles for others. Informally voting could occur as a spoken agreement or as a verbal gesture like a raised hand or electronically.
