What Happened
The US Supreme Court cleared the way for the Justice Department to dismiss Steve Bannon's criminal case. Bannon was convicted in 2022 on two counts of contempt of Congress for refusing to provide documents and testify to the House January 6 committee. He served four months in prison. The Trump administration argues dismissal is in the interests of justice. Bannon's conviction would be removed from record.
