Conservative media personality Steve Bannon suggested on Friday on his War Room program that some House Republican lawmakers are bought by big donors.
Bannon, who served as the White House chief strategist under the Trump administration, told his listeners on Friday that there needs to be investigations into the criminal proceedings of former President Donald Trump, who has been indicted four times on the state and federal level.
The conservative talk show host called out House Judiciary Committee chair Jim Jordan of Ohio, House Oversight Committee chair James Comer of Kentucky and House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana for not doing enough to help the MAGA cause.

Bannon told Newsweek via text message on Saturday: "The House Judiciary Committee should issue subpoenas for documents, staff depositions, and public hearings to the government officials and private actors who are conspiring to violate the civil rights of President Trump, his aides, and his allies by waging this unprecedented, Republic-ending lawfare and election interference."
Jordan's office told Newsweek via email on Saturday that "No one supports President Trump more than Jim Jordan."
Earlier in the episode, Bannon talked about laying out a "Battle plan" for a "Blow out win" in November after Trump was found guilty on Thursday by a New York jury in his Manhattan criminal case, which is the first of his four criminal cases to go to trial.
In a case brought forward by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Trump was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records relating to a hush money payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels shortly before the 2016 presidential election by Trump's then-lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen.
