A US jury has found Donald Trump's former strategist Steve Bannon guilty on two counts of contempt of Congress.
Bannon, 68, was indicted last year over his refusal to co-operate with the congressional committee probing the events leading up to the Capitol riot.
The former White House chief strategist is said to have been an unofficial adviser to Mr Trump at the time of the insurrection on 6 January 2021.
He faces up to two years in jail and up to $200,000 (£167,000) in fines.
The cell doors can't slam shut on his ass soon enough.

He appeals, and appeals and appeals. Then When TFG's next coup works they name the second trump class aircraft carrier after him. The first will be the USS Ashley Babbit.
ReplyDeleteMy only regret is that his crimes are not Capital Crimes and thereby worthy of the Death Penalty. Such a waste of air.
