Steve Bannon Is Getting Out Of Prison — And Heading Right Back To Court
HuffPost
The longtime Trump ally went to prison after refusing to comply with the Jan. 6 congressional committee. Now he’s facing conspiracy, fraud and money laundering charges.
Former Trump White House strategist Steve Bannon is set to be released from prison on Tuesday, after serving four months for refusing to comply with a congressional subpoena from the committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
Investigators on the committee were seeking Bannon’s testimony and records regarding his involvement in then-President Donald Trump’s bid to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Bannon tried and failed to invoke executive privilege to shield himself from investigators, but that argument fell flat, since Bannon had been fired from the White House long before he consulted with Trump about Jan. 6.
Bannon has been incarcerated at the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut, a low-security facility. He was convicted after a four-day jury trial on two counts of contempt of Congress.
He will be back in court very soon, trying to fend off another prison sentence.
Bannon is scheduled to appear on Dec. 9 in a New York City court. He stands accused of bilking donors who sent their cash to We Build the Wall, a group that claimed it was dedicated to fulfilling one of Trump’s 2016 campaign promises: the construction of a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico.
