A three-judge panel of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld former White House adviser Steve Bannon's conviction for criminal contempt of Congress .
Bannon was sentenced in October 2022 to four months in prison on charges related to his refusal to testify before and provide documents to the Jan. 6 committee investigating the attack on the Capitol. At the time, the judge also fined Bannon $6,500 but allowed the former Trump adviser to remain free while he appealed his convictions.
According to Friday's order, the three-judge panel rejected Bannon's argument that he was not guilty because his "lawyer advised him not to respond to the subpoena" from Congress.
Bannon could still appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, but the justices there previously did not help Peter Navarro , another Trump aide, to stay out of prison on similar charges.

If SCOTUS is mean, Steve plans to pen his cell-time opus 'Mein Drumpf'.
quick, somebody create a go fund me account to pay for his ramen, velveeta, and lube in club fed...
he can try to defend peter navarro from being repeatedly sodomized...
... in his new prison chamber of commerce.
I find Bannon a pretty contemptible person to begin with so I guess the charge fits.
Couldn't happen to a dirtier, nastier, unwashed, brain dead MAGA-ite
... that wears every shirt he owns all at the same time.
That scumbag looks like a walking talking pile of genital herpes and anal warts and all kinds of STDs and skin rashes piled into another pile of shit magat.
looks like he won't be getting that cushy job on trumps POTUS campaign for a little while...
the trump definition of "hiring only the best people' means those that have done time or been pardoned...
Only thugs, crooks, criminals, grifters, scumbags need apply
So is that bad? /s
What's on the inside of some shows on the outside sometimes, kind of like the former 'president'
personally, I was shocked to learn that a pile of bullshit could be stacked that high...
Yep. Trump and Bannon are ugly all the way to the bone.
Without personal hygiene, this is what you get or when you appear as a model for a dirty laundry hamper.
homeless poster boy...
Lock the sleazebag fascist up!
he's hoping to be the first scumbag to receive 2 presidential pardons...
he and navarro didn't get enough punishment. hopefully their new community addresses that issue...
If you could see body odor.
a fraud and a thief, pardoned by trump... maga...
Geez, I'm eating. Where's Trout Giggles' cat puking meme when you need it?
The unshaved look does work for me and certain movie stars while we're wearing stylish threads, but it just makes Bannon look like the great unwashed homeless.
Please post a photo so we can see what you mean.
Will never post a picture of myself here even though I am movie-star handsome. Don't need a far right-wing target on my head.
smart move.
