Steve Bannon Sentenced To 4 Months For Contempt Of Congress Charges

Steve Bannon, former adviser to President Trump, was sentenced to four months in prison and fined $6,500 for contempt of Congress after not cooperating with the January 6th committee. Despite the sentence, Bannon was allowed to leave pending an appeal. His legal team argued executive privilege, while the prosecution sought a harsher penalty. Bannon criticized the Justice Department and commented on upcoming midterms. The committee faces challenges as Republicans may shut it down, and Bannon's appeal could delay his sentence.
