Former Trump White House aide turned right-wing podcaster Steve Bannon deserves a six-month custodial sentence for having pursued a “bad-faith strategy of defiance and contempt” after receiving a House January 6 committee subpoena, the Department of Justice has said.
In a sentencing memorandum filed before US District Judge Carl Nichols on Monday, Bannon’s attorneys asked the judge to let the ex-Breitbart News executive off with probation and put that light sentence on hold while Bannon appeals the guilty verdict a Washington, DC jury handed down against him on 22 July.
