Appeals court upholds Steve Bannon's conviction for contempt of Congress

WASHINGTON — A three-judge panel of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia has upheld Steve Bannon’s conviction on two counts of contempt of Congress. Bannon was convicted after a trial in 2022 and sentenced to four months in prison. The trial judge, however, stayed Bannon’s sentence, allowing him to remain free pending his appeal. Bannon still has the option of asking the full bench of the D.C. Circuit to hear his case, or he can petition the U.S.

That means Bannon is unlikely to have to report to prison immediately. Bannon, who was an aide to former President Donald Trump, was convicted in July of 2022 when a jury found him guilty of two contempt of Congress charges for failing to comply with a subpoena for documents and testimony issued by the House select committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection.
