Steve Bannon sentenced to 4 months in prison — and this time Trump can’t pardon him

This is a breaking news story… Check back for updates…

Former Trump aide Steve Bannon was sentenced Friday to four months in federal prison and ordered to pay a $6,500 fine for contempt of Congress charges stemming from his defiance of a subpoena issued by the House January 6 committee.

The sentence amounts to less than the six-month prison term and $200,000 fine that the U.S. Department of Justice recommended.

Carl Nichols, the U.S. district court judge presiding over the case, said he would suspend the sentence if Bannon appeals, a move that could allow him to avoid prison for months.
