The Justice Department is recommending that Steve Bannon, a former Trump adviser, be sentenced to six months in jail and a $200,000 fine after he defied a subpoena to testify before the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol attack.
Monday's court filing by the DOJ argues that Bannon "exacerbated" the attack on the Capitol by evading the committee's subpoena and that he did not fully comply with the DOJ's own pre-sentencing investigation, accusing him of "a bad-faith strategy of defiance and contempt."
