A federal appeals court on Friday upheld the criminal conviction of Steve Bannon, a longtime adviser to Donald Trump, for defying a subpoena from the Jan. 6 House select committee, a ruling that could send the populist conservative strategist to prison.
Bannon was sentenced to four months in jail in 2022, but the judge overseeing his case agreed to postpone the jail term while Bannon appealed the decision, agreeing that the complex mix of laws that govern executive privilege and testimonial immunity for White House aides could be overturned by higher courts.
But a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected Bannons argument, saying the former aide and prominent podcaster had no legal rationale for his blanket refusal to appeal before the committee.
