Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon released without bail Monday after surrendering to federal authorities in Washington, D.C.

Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon was released without bail Monday after surrendering to federal authorities in Washington, D.C., where he faces criminal charges after defying a subpoena from the lawmakers investigating the deadly Capitol invasion.  The 67-year-old Bannon was charged with two counts of contempt of Congress following his refusal to comply with demands to produce documents and sit for a deposition as part of that investigation. Each count of contempt of Congress is a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail and a maximum fine of $100,000.

Magistrate Judge Robin Meriweather said during Bannon’s brief initial appearance that he will be subject to general supervision requirements as part of the conditions of his release. He will have to regularly report to pretrial services and alert them to any plans to travel outside Washington. Bannon has also surrendered his passport and agreed not to obtain any other international travel documents.

Bannon did not enter a plea at the hearing. He is scheduled to appear before U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols on Thursday at 11 a.m. ET. Appearing outside the FBI’s Washington field office before turning himself in, Bannon claimed he and his allies were “taking down the Biden regime.”

Bannon was a senior White House advisor during the first seven months of Trump’s single term in office. He was fired by Trump years before the 2020 presidential election and the Jan. 6 invasion.

Drive-by shooting at Colorado park near high school sends 6 teens to hospital; suspects still at large

shutterstock_470224967

Six teenagers were wounded in a shooting involving multiple suspects at a small park close to a high school in Aurora, Colorado. The shooting happened around 12:45 p.m., police spokesperson Matthew Longshore said.

Police Chief Vanessa Wilson said Monday that the six students from Aurora Central High School, ranging in age from 14 to 18, were brought to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. School resource officers responded and applied a tourniquet to one victim, who went into surgery, Wilson said. Investigators found shell casings from different caliber guns and witnesses said there were multiple suspicious vehicles.  Said Wilson: “My understanding is it was a drive-by shooting, as well as there may have been people on foot. I think enough is enough. And I think we need to come together as a community. This is a public health crisis.” 

Aurora Police tweeted that the shooting occurred at Nome Park, just north of Central High School, where officials enacted a secure perimeter. The city of Aurora’s website says Nome Park is .8 acres and features a playground and community garden. Aurora Central High School had more than 2,000 students.

MGM shares clip of Lady Gaga and Adam Driver in ‘House of Gucci’

shutterstock_1324662323

On Monday, MGM Studios shared a clip from the upcoming film “House of Gucci” featuring Lady Gaga as Patrizia Reggiani and Adam Driver as her husband, Maurizio Gucci, the heir to the Gucci fashion house.

In the teaser clip, Patrizia influences Maurizio by trying to convince him that his uncle Aldo and cousin Paulo aren’t good for the company. “It’s time to take out the trash,” Patrizia says. “They’re poison. They’re an embarrassment to this company and everybody knows it.” MGM previously released a clip last Friday showing Patrizia and Maurizio inspecting fake Gucci bags.

House of Gucci is based on the Sara Gay Forden book The House of Gucci: A Sensational Story of Murder, Madness, Glamour, and Greed. The film explores the events surrounding the murder of Maurizio, who died in 1995. In 1998, Patrizia was sentenced to 29 years in prison for hiring a hitman to kill Maurizio. She was released from prison early in 2016.

Directed by Ridley Scott, House of Gucci also stars Jared Leto, Jeremy Irons, Salma Hayek, Al Pacino and Jack Huston. The film opens in theaters Nov. 24.  Take a look at the latest clip – here.
