BREAKING: Judge sentences Steve Bannon to 4 months in prison for contempt of Congress
· Oct 21, 2022 · NottheBee.com

Former Trump ally and political commentator Steve Bannon has just been sentenced to 4 months in prison for contempt of Congress after defying a subpoena from the January 6th Committee.

From the New York Post:

Former Trump White House strategist Steve Bannon was sentenced to serve four months in prison and ordered to pay a $6,500 fine on Friday for refusing to comply with a subpoena from the House select committee investigating last year's Capitol riot.

US District Judge Carl Nichols passed sentence on the 68-year-old Bannon, agreeing with federal prosecutors that Bannon had not expressed remorse and kept up his attacks on the congressional panel.

Nichols also said that the sentencing guidelines were clear that contempt of Congress was subject to a mandatory minimum sentence of at least one month of incarceration.

Bannon is still fighting hard.

Before the sentencing, Bannon gave this statement:

"Remember, this illegitimate regime, their judgment day is on 8 November, when the Biden administration ends … By the way, and remember: Take down the CCP," Bannon said as he arrived at the courthouse.

I have no doubt we will hear more from Bannon after his prison sentence ends.

It seems like he's just getting started.
