Now the panel will vote on Tuesday to recommend the charges, which will then be sent to the House for a full vote.
If the House supports holding Mr Bannon in contempt, the Justice Department will have the final say on whether or not to prosecute.The former presidential advisor was fired from the White House in 2017 and was not in government at the time of the January riot, which saw Trump supporters storm the Capitol and left five people dead.
However, the committee had demanded evidence from Mr Bannon, who was in touch with the then-president at the time. The rioters repeated Mr Trump's false claims of widespread fraud as they marched through the Capitol, even though the results of the election were confirmed by state officials and upheld by the courts.
