Washington. Steve Bannon, el antiguo asesor del expresidente estadounidense Donald Trump, accedió a testificar en las audiencias del Congreso sobre el asalto contra el Capitolio, a pocos días de ir a juicio por ignorar una citación para comparecer ante el comité que investiga el ataque, reportaron el domingo varios medios.

“El señor Bannon está dispuesto, y de hecho prefiere, testificar en su audiencia pública”, indicó su abogado, Robert Costello, en una carta fechada el sábado dirigida al Comité del Congreso que investiga los hechos, que fue inicialmente citada por el diario británico The Guardian y después por medios estadounidenses.
