A federal judge has rejected an attempt from the Department of Justice to toss out a case against Steve Bannon, who has already served a four-month prison sentence for defying a congressional investigation into January 6.
In February, Washington, D.C. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro signed a brief one-page motion asking the judge overseeing the case to dismiss it altogether. “The government has determined in its prosecutorial discretion that dismissal of this criminal case is in the interests of justice,” the filing says.
