The charge was referred to the, with Garland still to decide on whether to prosecute Bannon. On Monday, Bannon insisted that Biden opponents were"crushing" the president's"illegitimate regime," while maintaining that others would be"outraged" after learning about the unsubstantiated conspiracy theory.
"What did the FBI know, what did the national security apparatus know, what does [FBI Director Christopher Wray] know, what does Merrick Garland know and what did they not tell the president of the United States? What did they not tell Donald Trump?" asked Bannon."What did they plan? What did they plot? And what did they hide from Donald J. Trump when he was commander-in-chief?
"This is an outrage," added Bannon."You talk about coups. I can show you a coup and we will show you a coup. No conspiracy. We're going to connect hard dots."
