Kinzinger says Bannon was an example and future witnesses will 'pay the price' for ignoring subpoenas to appear before Jan. 6 committee

The congressman said that the conviction of Steve Bannon was justice after he failed to answer a subpoena.

During an appearance on ABC's "This Week" on Saturday, Kinzinger warned that future witnesses who ignore subpoenas would face the same fate.

I think it's good. Yes, justice, right? You can plead the fifth if you want in front of our committee, but you can't ignore a congressional subpoena. It's to any future witnesses as well.

After refusing to comply with a subpoena that required him to sit for a deposition, Steve Bannon was found guilty of two charges of criminal contempt of Congress.

The maximum sentence for each charge is a year in prison and a $100,000 fine.

During an interview with Tucker Carlson on Friday, he said that he would be willing to go to jail in order to support Trump.

If I go to jail, so be it, I support Trump and the Constitution.

Insider's request for comment was not responded to by attorneys for Bannon.
