Steve Bannon’s bid to undo Jan. 6 contempt conviction fails

Former Trump adviser Stephen K. Bannon was rightfully convicted of contempt of Congress for refusing to testify in front of the committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, an appellate court ruled Friday.

The court did not immediately order Bannon to begin serving his four-month prison sentence; instead, he has seven days to ask for reconsideration in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
