Jury Found He Failed to Comply With House Subpoena From Select Committee Investigating Jan. 6 Capitol Breach

WASHINGTON – Stephen K. Bannon was sentenced today to four months of incarceration and ordered to pay a fine of $6,500 on two counts of contempt of Congress stemming from his failure to comply with a subpoena issued by the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 breach of the United States Capitol.

Bannon, 68, was found guilty by a jury on July 22, 2022, of one contempt count related to his refusal to appear for a deposition and another count related to his refusal to produce documents in response to a subpoena from the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. The verdict followed a trial in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

On Sept. 23, 2021, the Select Committee issued a subpoena to Bannon. In its subpoena, the Select Committee said it had reason to believe that he had information relevant to understanding events related to Jan. 6, 2021. The subpoena required him to appear and produce documents to the Select Committee on Oct. 7, 2021, and to appear for a deposition before the Select Committee on Oct. 14, 2021. Bannon refused to appear to give testimony as required by subpoena and refused to produce documents in compliance with a subpoena.

This was 18 months ago. Why isn't this Trump cronie in prison yet?

Judicial process, his case is still on appeal I think. It's always a good reason to watch this video again...

Steve Bannon, You In Danger​

He escaped accountability last time with a pardon, but the legal walls are closing in on him at last.​


Bannon really ought to be in prison by now. After all, his three co-conspirators in the “We Build the Wall” fraud—a scheme that bilked $25 million from gullible donors—are all serving years-long federal sentences.

The only reason Bannon is free is because Trump pardoned him.

Of course, that didn’t stop Bannon from later getting convicted and sentenced to four months in prison for contempt of Congress. He’s currently out while that verdict is under appeal, which is admittedly frustrating. And he’s still busily spreading election fraud and other conspiracies on his “War Room” podcast.

But the legal walls are finally closing in on Bannon. That federal, presidential pardon didn’t prevent Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg from charging Bannon under New York state law for those same illegal actions. That trial is set to begin in four months.

And Bannon’s primary financial benefactor, the shadowy Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui, is now under indictment for bilking anti-communist dissidents out of one billion dollars. Earlier this month, a superceding indictment alleged that Guo’s business entities, some of which included Bannon as a partner and co-founder, were part of a criminal organization.


And it looks like Trump isn’t the only criminal defendant to stiff his lawyers. As The Daily Beast reported today, Bannon reportedly owes his attorneys nearly half a million dollars, and they are out to recover it.

All this adds up to some pretty bad news for Bannon. So let’s review where things stand with him, and why it might not be long before Bannon is off that podcast and behind bars where he belongs.
