Bannon criticizes Thompson days after he tests positive for COVID-19

The former Trump adviser bashed Rep. Bennie Thompson for not appearing at Bannon's contempt hearing. Thompson recently tested positive for COVID-19.
Federal prosecutors began unveiling their case in the contempt trial of former White House strategist Steve Bannon on Tuesday, asserting that the longtime aide to President Donald Trump “decided he was above the law” when he defied a subpoena from a House committee investigating the Capitol attack.

“It wasn't an accident; it wasn’t a mistake," Assistant U.S. Attorney Amanda Vaughn told jurors in opening arguments. "It was a decision; it was a choice. This case is about the defendant thumbing his nose at the orderly process of our government. It is that simple."
