House Democrats' Jan. 6 committee has been showing video clips at its hearings of previously recorded depositions from associates of former President Donald Trump rather than live public testimony.
Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon recently offered to testify in public, according to a letter written to the committee by his attorney Robert Costello. The committee has not yet responded to Bannon's offer to testify publicly.
Costello told Just the News that the committee prefers to make a "television moment consistent with their narrative" rather than risk the surprises inherent in live testimony.
