A judge has sentenced former Trump political adviser Steve Bannon to 4 months incarceration and a $6,500 fine for criminal contempt of Congress.
The judge says he's prepared to let Bannon remain free while he appeals his convictions as Bannon is unlikely to flee or pose a danger to the community.
Bannon sat quietly and did not react as asked U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols delivered the sentence.The Justice Department took the unusual step of listing a series of bombastic and demeaning statements Bannon made about the justice system and lawmakers in their court filing. After his indictment last year, Bannon promised reporters,"this is going to be the misdemeanor from hell for Merrick Garland, Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden."
"Should a person who has spent a lifetime listening to experts – as a naval officer, investment banker, corporate executive, and Presidential advisor – be jailed for relying on the advice of his lawyers?" wrote Bannon lawyers Evan Corcoran and David Schoen in a court filing.
