Breaking: Steve Bannon Sentenced to 4 Months in Jail, Slapped With Fine for Contempt of Congress

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - SEPTEMBER 08: Steve Bannon, former advisor to former President Donald Trump departs criminal court after his arrangement in NYS Supreme Court on September 08, 2022 in New York City. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Jr. and New York Attorney General Letitia James announced an indictment of Bannon charging him with money laundering and conspiracy in connection with the “We Build the Wall" fundraising scheme, for which the entity is also facing charges. The state chargers are based on the same federal charges for which Bannon was pardoned by former President Donald Trump. He and others have been alleged to have defrauded contributors to a private $25 million fundraising effort to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border according.

A federal judge has sentenced former Trump adviser Steve Bannon after he was found guilty of contempt of Congress.

On Friday, Judge Carl J. Nichols sentenced Bannon to four months in jail and a $6,500 fine after he defied a subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Bannon was held in contempt of Congress after he declined to comply with a subpoena to provide documents and testimony about the Jan. 6 riot.

In July, he was found guilty of two counts of contempt of Congress.

After that verdict, Bannon insisted, “I stand with Trump and the Constitution.”

“I will never back off that,” he added.

The New York Times notes in Friday’s report prosecutors “accused Mr. Bannon, the onetime editor of the right-wing news outlet Breitbart, of having ‘pursued a bad-faith strategy of defiance and contempt’ from the moment he received the subpoena seeking information about his knowledge of Mr. Trump’s efforts to reverse his electoral defeat.”

Nichols — appointed by former President Donald Trump — said on Friday, “Others must be deterred from committing similar crimes.”

Bannon reacted to the sentencing decision, telling reporters, “I respect the judge. The sentencing [he] came down today with is his decision. I fully respect him. I’ve been totally respectful of this entire process on the legal side.”

“Today was my judgment day by the judge… We’ll have a very vigorous appeals process. I’ve got a great legal team. There will be multiple areas of appeal,” he continued.

Finally, Bannon declared, “On November 8, there’s going to have judgment on the illegitimate Biden regime. And quite frankly, Nancy Pelosi and the entire [Jan. 6 committee].”

Finally, Bannon predicted Attorney General Merrick Garland would face an impeachment proceeding and be removed from office after the midterm elections.
