Judge Carl Nichols has dismissed the jury for the day, and they therefore will not begin their deliberations before the House select Jan. 6 committee hearing tonight.
Nichols brought the jury in first before dismissing them so that he could explain where the proceedings stood. The proceedings had taken a short recess for the jury to be brought back in before their dismissal.
The jury was sent home as the judge works on some legal decisions that need to happen at the end of the case.
The jurors were told not to consume media tonight — after the prosecutors reminded the judge of the House hearing.
What happens next: This means Bannon's jury will be instructed on how to consider the case, then hear prosecutors' and defense closing arguments Friday. After that, they will begin deliberations.
