Steve Bannon Sentenced to Four Months in Prison

Former Trump White House advisor Steve Bannon was sentenced Friday to four months in jail for defying a subpoena from the congressional probe of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, CNBC reports.

Washington Post: “Bannon is set to become the first person incarcerated for defying a congressional subpoena in more than half a century under a statute that is rarely prosecuted. The judge said he would stay imposition of the penalty pending Bannon’s expected appeal.”

The New York Times reports Bannon told reporters that he viewed President Biden as “illegitimate” and went on to claim that Democrats would face their “judgment day” in the coming midterm elections.
