Steve Bannon Found Guilty of Contempt for Defying January 6 Committee Subpoena

Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon was found guilty of contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena from the House select committee investigating the attack on January 6.

Bannon's team did not present a defense during the trial, and he refrained from taking a stand. 

Bannon will be sentenced on October 21, and faces a minimum sentence of 30 days in jail, according to federal law.
The committee is investigating Bannon's interactions with Trump leading up to the Capitol riot.

His participation in the so-called war room of Trump allies at the Willard Hotel in Washington the day before the riot.

A prediction he made on his podcast before the riot that "all hell" was going to "break loose."
