The U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way on Monday for the Justice Department to move forward with dismissing a criminal case in which Steve Bannon, an influential ally of President Donald Trump, was convicted after defying a congressional subpoena.
The justices threw out a lower court's decision to uphold Bannon's 2022 conviction for refusing to turn over documents or testify to a congressional panel that investigated the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters.
Trump's Justice Department, in urging the Supreme Court to toss the lower court's decision, told the justices in court papers it has determined that dismissal of Bannon's case "is in the interests of justice." The department already had filed a motion to dismiss the case at the trial court level.
After the Supreme Court in June 2024 denied Bannon's request to keep him out of prison while his appeal played out, he served a four-month sentence at a low-security federal facility in Danbury, Connecticut.
The Justice Department declined to comment on Monday. The Supreme Court, in a brief unsigned order, returned the case to the lower court for further consideration "in light of the pending motion to dismiss the indictment."
Bannon was convicted by a jury in Washington on two counts of contempt of Congress for failing to provide documents or testimony to a Democratic-led House of Representatives committee investigating the Capitol attack.
The rioters had tried to prevent congressional certification of Democrat Joe Biden's election victory over Trump in the Republican president's unsuccessful 2020 reelection bid. Bannon called the House committee's probe and the charges brought against him by the Justice Department during Biden's presidency politically motivated.

bannon is the true pedo protector. Yet no one is talking about it...we even have transcripts and emails where he is actively helping Epstein!
Too bad for Bannon the SC cant do anything to helped his destroyed reputation. Ive been Bannon free since the Epstein nuke dropped.
Washington DC juries should not be allowed to hear any cases. They are utterly corrupt.
In fact, every DC jury who participated in corrupt convictions should be going to prison themselves.
All DC courts should be dissolved.
I hadn’t heard that, and there are no threads posted here about it. Are you all sure the source is reliable? I’m certainly no Bannon fan but I don’t want to promote something that is unsubstantiated about anyone.
wHAT EVER HAPPENED TO SPEEDY TRIALS?
Bannon normally opens his show every morning with takes from various Trump-hating, venom-spewing jackals ragging on Trump and his policies. Now, those same jackals can open their broadcasts featuring Bannon with his Trump-hating, venom-spewing jackals ragging on Trump’s policies.
His had his favorite CIA jackal on this morning doing just that. That man is quite methodical and level talking, but he is unhinged and it shows ever so often. I had to turn him off. Bannon has diminished himself considerablely lately.
100%. But that’s what I’m saying...no one is talking about! WHY?

Been Bannon Free since he squeezed in after Breitbart. The guy gives me the creeps.
Sadly, Bannon and Epstein were quite chummy. What I read in his emails on the searchable Epstein file was enough for me to walk away from the War Room.
