A US jury has found Donald Trump ally Steve Bannon guilty of contempt of Congress after a four-day trial for defying requests for information by the congressional committee investigating the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol.
The guilty verdict on Friday is the first conviction related to refusing to cooperate with the January 6 panel. Bannon faced two counts of criminal contempt for refusing to appear before the committee. Each count carries a minimum of 30 days and up to a year in jail.
