Steve Bannon contempt of Congress conviction can stand: Appeals court

Published May 10, 2024 10:46am ET



A federal appeals court on Friday upheld the criminal contempt of Congress conviction for Steve Bannon, a podcast host and former Trump White House aide who refused to testify and give documents to the now-defunct House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

The 20-page decision by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit means it is more likely that Bannon may soon face a sentence of four months in jail for his conviction.
