Steve Bannon Found Guilty of Contempt of Congress
WASHINGTON—Former White House strategist Steve Bannon has been found guilty of contempt of Congress by a jury in Washington.
Jurors convicted Bannon, who worked in the Trump administration, on two counts.
Bannon faces up to two years in prison.
The case stemmed from Bannon’s refusal to comply with a subpoena demanding documents and testimony. The subpoena was issued by the House of Representatives panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol.
Panel members alleged that Bannon has information that would help their investigation.
