On Friday, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld one-time former Trump adviser Steve Bannon’s Jan. 6th contempt of Congress conviction.
The news was reported by Politico senior legal affairs reporter Kyle Cheney, who noted that the ruling was by a unanimous three-judge panel.
The three judge panel rejected Bannon’s appeal of his conviction for defying a subpoena to testify before the congressional subcommittee that investigated the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Bannon was sentenced to four months in 2022 on one count for his refusal to appear before Congress and another count for failing to produce documents requested by the subcommittee.
Bannon’s conviction being upheld paves the way for him to be required to actually serve his four-month prison sentence.

Yet Dems GO Free on same charges NOT Fair
The J6 Riot was a Pelosi PlayBook 100% and was a total Sham! The J6 Kangaroo Committee was such a corrupt group of Demagogues that shredded the Constitution by falsifying the Capitol events. it surprises me that those fake folks are not in prison and the MAGA Trumpers free with restitution payment for their grievances for that day of reckoning! J6 was the day the Democratic Demagogs took our Country from the American People and Politicized our US Government. But We The US People are stronger and smarter than those that try to kill America with legal tactics and falsehoods thrown at the American People everyday since Beijing Biden And Merrick Garland took over the White House (by Force I Might Add!). Let’s Go Brandon!!
The J6 committee was an illegal committee that changed everything to fit their criteria. Bannon is not guilty. How can he be when ALL the J6 committee criminals are the guilty ones. Why doesn’t the Judge know this? Is he now guilty also?
