- Former top Trump White House advisor Steve Bannon was sentenced to four months in jail for defying a subpoena from the House probe of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
- The House held Bannon in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a select committee subpoena for documents and testimony.
- Bannon had asked federal Judge Carl Nichols for a sentence of probation.
A U.S. District judge also fined Bannon $6,500. But he ruled that Bannon will not have to serve the sentence until an expected appeal plays out.
Both the jail term and fine came in below the sentence recommended by federal prosecutors.
