Steve Bannon: justice department urges six-month prison term in contempt case

Former Trump strategist found guilty of criminal contempt of Congress for ignoring subpoena from Capitol attack committee

Steve Bannon should be sentenced to six months in prison and a $200,000 fine for his sustained, bad-faith contempt of Congress", the justice department said in a legal filing on Monday.

Bannon, the former Donald Trump White House strategist, was found guilty on two counts of criminal contempt of Congress in July for ignoring a subpoena from the US House committee investigating the January 6 attack.
