The federal district court judge in Washington, DC, said on the 22nd of Luly that Steve Bannon, a former chief strategist and senior adviser who was an aide to former U.S. President Donald Trump, will investigate the attack on the U.S. parliament in January last year. He was convicted of insulting the parliament for failing to comply with the Commission's request for summons and submission of materials.
You may be sentenced to 30 days or more and a year's imprisonment and a fine of $ 100 to $ 100,000. The sentence will be sentenced on October 21st.
"We lost the fight today. We are at war," Banon told reporters after the verdict. Defendant's lawyer has indicated his intention to appeal the conviction.
"The conviction is a victory over the rule of law," said Democratic Party Chairman Bennie Thompson (Democratic Party) and Liz Cheney (Republican Party), who are pursuing Mr. Trump's responsibilities.
The conviction could increase pressure from the House of Representatives to encourage other former government officials to cooperate in the investigation.
Former White House Chief of Staff Peter Navarro, who was in charge of commercial policy, has also been charged with contempt of Congress among former Trump administration officials.
