Bennie G. Thompson, Chairman, House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack, Dear Congressman Thompson: We write on behalf of Stephen Bannon.

In light of this late filing, we respectfully request a one-week adjournment of our response to your latest letter so that we might thoughtfully assess the impact of this pending litigation.
