Gov. Gavin Newsom is facing a backlash from members of his own party after a series of podcasts that featured Steve Bannon and other supporters of President Donald Trump. Newsom is a potential 2028 presidential candidate. He says his choice of guests reflects his interest in knowing more about how Republicans organized in the last election.

Longtime Trump ally Steve Bannon has been taken into custody after surrendering at a federal prison to begin a four-month sentence on contempt charges for defying a subpoena in the congressional investigation into the U.S. Capitol attack.

Bannon's appeal will continue to play out, and Republican House leaders have put their support behind stepping in to assert the Jan. 6 committee was improperly created.
