The nation’s highest court has opened the door for dismissing the contempt case against Steve Bannon, former advisor to President Trump.
Bannon served a four-month prison sentence after he refused to honor a subpoena issued by the House Select Committee that was investigating the January 6th attack on the Capitol.
The Supreme Court’s decision clears a path for prosecutors to potentially drop the contempt charges that led to his incarceration.
The case stemmed from Bannon’s defiance of congressional demands for testimony and documents related to the events surrounding the Capitol riot.
