Steve Bannon, the former White House chief strategist and a top Donald Trump ally, is set to discover whether his appeal over his contempt of Congress conviction will be successful.
Bannon was sentenced to four months in jail in October 2022 after he was convicted of two counts of contempt in connection to his failure to abide by a congressional subpoena issued to him by the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack.
Attorney Mark Romano, a frequent critic of Trump, condemned the length of time it has taken for Bannon’s appeal to be resolved after he was found guilty by a jury in July 2022.
