Steve Bannon, former adviser to Donald Trump, arrives to federal court in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Wednesday, March 16, 2022.
A federal appeals court on Friday upheld the criminal contempt of Congress conviction of former Trump White House senior aide Steve Bannon for refusing to testify and provide documents to the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit makes it more likely that Bannon will soon have to begin serving a sentence of four months in jail for his conviction of two counts of contempt of Congress.
But Bannon could ask the full judicial line-up of the D.C.
He also could ask the U.S. Supreme Court to take an appeal of Friday's ruling.
