The Supreme Court of the United States has cleared the way for the dismissal of a criminal case against former White House adviser Steve Bannon, who had been charged with contempt of Congress. The case stems from the MAGA leader's refusal to cooperate with an investigation into the January 6 attack on the US Capitol.
Bannon was subpoenaed in 2021 by the House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack. The committee was investigating the events surrounding the Capitol riot and sought documents and testimony from several individuals, including Bannon, who had been a close ally of US President Donald Trump.
