Steve Bannon a été condamné vendredi à quatre mois de prison pour son refus de coopérer avec l'enquête parlementaire sur l'assaut du Capitole.

Des accusations qu'il a niées. Bannon a commencé à imprimer son empreinte, dans la dénonciation populiste d'un ordre mondial contrôlé par des élites politiques et financières.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Steve Bannon, a longtime ally of former President Donald Trump, is scheduled to be sentenced Friday after being convicted of defying a.

The defense, meanwhile, said he wasn’t acting in bad faith, but trying to avoid running afoul of executive privilege objections Trump had raised when Bannon was first served with a committee subpoena last year. The House committee had sought Bannon’s testimony over his involvement in Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. The statutes for contempt of Congress each carry a minimum sentence of 30 days behind bars, but Bannon’s lawyers argue the judge could just sentence him to probation and not send him to jail.

A judge has sentenced former Trump political adviser Steve Bannon to 4 months incarceration and a $6500 fine for criminal contempt of Congress.

The judge had expressed concern about a 60-year-old legal precedent that says DOJ only needs to prove Bannon made a deliberate choice not to comply, not that he had an improper motive. Bannon refused to turn over even a single piece of paper to the Jan. wrote Bannon lawyers Evan Corcoran and David Schoen in a court filing. In court papers earlier this week, they said Bannon pursued "a bad faith strategy of defiance and contempt." A judge has sentenced former Trump political adviser Steve Bannon to 4 months incarceration and a $6,500 fine for criminal contempt of Congress. Lawmakers on the House Select Committee wanted to know why he said a day before the siege that "all hell is going to break loose tomorrow."

Bannon also faces the prospect of years in prison if convicted in a separate case. The chief executive has been identified in court papers as Brian Kolfage, an air force veteran who pleaded guilty in April to federal wire fraud conspiracy and tax charges, and is awaiting sentencing. He has been indicted in New York on six counts in connection with a fundraising drive, known as "We Build the Wall," to help build Trump's signature wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. He's just going to say he's the winner." Bannon stressed after the verdict his grievance was directed at Congress and the current administration, not the judge. He was convicted earlier this year after a four-day trial in federal court in Washington on two counts: one for refusing to appear for a deposition and the other for refusing to provide documents in response to the committee's subpoena. Bannon on his way into court, and after the two-hour hearing, railed against what he called an "illegitimate Biden regime," whose "judgment day" would come in over two weeks when the U.S. Bannon refused to co-operate with the House committee investigating the Jan. "That doesn't mean he's the winner. It is not clear when or if former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and Trump adviser Dan Scavino will face legal consequences for not co-operating. Bannon should make no apology. Each count carried a minimum sentence of 30 days in jail.

In addition to Steve Bannon, U.S. prosecutors have charged former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro with contempt of Congress.

In addition to Bannon, prosecutors have charged former Trump White House adviser Peter Navarro with contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena from the same committee, with a Nov. He was indicted in New York state in September on charges of money laundering and conspiracy, with prosecutors accusing him of deceiving donors giving money to help build Trump’s promised wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Each of the two counts was punishable by a minimum of one month and a maximum of one year in prison and a fine of up to US$100,000. Bannon had sought to portray the criminal charges as politically motivated, lashing out at Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland, while saying, “They took on the wrong guy his time.” Bannon has played an instrumental role in right-wing media and has promoted right-wing causes and candidates in the United States and abroad. Bannon was convicted by a jury in July on two counts of contempt of Congress for failing to provide documents or testimony.

Former Trump strategist Steve Bannon railed against the "Biden regime" after being sentenced to four months in jail for contempt of Congress.

Defence attorney David Schoen - who represented Mr Trump in his second impeachment trial at the US Senate - said that Bannon was acting "on principle". There is nothing here to punish." Even after his departure, the combative and controversial podcaster was considered a top ally of Mr Trump. Bannon was a key player in Mr Trump's successful 2016 election campaign and later took the role of chief strategist at the White House. Bannon has repeatedly made similar statements in the past and falsely claimed that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election. "Today was my judgement day by the judge," Bannon told reporters immediately following the sentencing.

Former Trump strategist also fined $6500 for refusing to comply with subpoena issued by Capitol attack committee.

A person close to Bannon described him as feeling triumphant and unrepentant. Nichols also ruled he would stay the sentence as long as Bannon filed his anticipated appeal “timely”. This is not hard. “This is not difficult.

More likely, he realized he could be convicted but decided that was worth the risk to make himself into a martyr and claim that the case showed how the “deep state” persecutes right-wing figures. If Trump is reelected president in 2024, Bannon might be in line for another pardon, but that’s some time off, and won’t be a great deal of comfort if Bannon is stuck in a federal prison for months. The committee called his bluff and referred him to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution. He extorted Ukraine for aid in the 2020 election and was impeached, but was saved by Republicans in the Senate, who voted to acquit him. It is a message to those in the Trump orbit that you cannot simply ignore laws, and that Trump’s umbrella of protection has big holes. Using a tactic he’d employed very effectively in the private sector, he sought to tie up any consequences in a flurry of litigation. While Trump was in office, he and many of those in his orbit found that they could defy authority with few consequences.

Former top Trump White House advisor Steve Bannon was sentenced for defying a subpoena from the House probe of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

By flouting the Select Committee's subpoena and its authority, the Defendant exacerbated that assault," their memo said. "The facts of this case show that Mr. Bannon had asked federal Judge Carl Nichols for a sentence of probation. Prosecutors called that a stunt. But he ruled that Bannon will not have to serve the sentence until an expected appeal plays out.

The former media entrepreneur, naval officer and investment banker was at Trump's side during his ascent and some of his most divisive moments.

I’m the king.’” Critics decry him as a nationalist and a nihilist bent more on destroying the American political system that reforming it. The media, crazy. Bannon took over the Breitbart News website after its founder died of a heart attack in 2012. He took over as Trump campaign chair months before the election in 2016, helping hone the populist edge used to upset Hillary Clinton. This time he can expect no presidential pardon, at least not as long as Joe Biden is in the White House.
