STEVE Bannon, an ally of former US president Donald Trump, has been sentenced to four months behind bars for defying a subpoena from the committee looking into the January 6 riots at the Capitol building in Washington DC.
Bannon was convicted in July of two counts of contempt of US congress: One for refusing to sit for a deposition and the other for refusing to provide documents.
Prosecutors had asked the judge in his case to impose a hefty sentence of six months in jail, while Bannon’s lawyers argued their client deserved probation.
