President Trump’s former chief strategist Steve Bannon surrendered to the FBI Monday on charges of criminal contempt of Congress. 

The charges are in connection to Bannon refusing to cooperate with the House January 6th Inquisition. 

As reported by Just the News, Bannon was charged Friday after failing to appear on Capitol Hill that morning, with two counts of contempt for failure to comply with a committee subpoena to produce records and testify about what happened on January 6th. 

On the way into the FBI's Washington Field Office to turn himself in, Bannon cut a promo on social media for his radio show, advising his supporters to not "take their eye off the ball," per ABC News. 

"We're taking down the Biden regime," Bannon said. "I want you guys to stay focused and stay on message. Remember signal, not noise, this is all noise, that's signal.”

Bannon was seen walking in with his lawyer, David Schoen, who represented Trump in his second Senate trial.

Bannon is expected to be arraigned in federal court on the charges later in the day.
