Federal prosecutors also are recommending that Bannon pay a maximum fine of $200,000 for 'his sustained, bad-faith.'
The January 6 committee unveiled video of former President Trump's allies that suggested he planned to dispute unfavorable election results.The Justice Department is seeking a six-month prison term for former Trump White House strategist Steve Bannon who faces sentencing this week following his conviction on contempt of Congress charges for defying a subpoena from the special House Committee investigating the Capitol attack.
"From the moment that the Defendant, Stephen K. Bannon, accepted service of a subpoena from the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol..., he has pursued a bad-faith strategy of defiance and contempt," prosecutors asserted in court documents in advance of a Friday sentencing hearing.
"Throughout the pendency of this case, the Defendant has exploited his notoriety – through courthouse press conferences and his War Room podcast – to display to the public the source of his bad-faith refusal to comply with the Committee’s subpoena: a total disregard for government processes and the law," the government's filing stated.
Bannon and the"We Build the Wall" nonprofit organization are charged with two counts of money laundering, plus felony counts of conspiracy and scheme to defraud. Bannon and the group also face a misdemeanor count of conspiracy to defraud.
