UPDATE July 22nd, 2022: Associated Press: Bannon was found guilty after a trial that lasted around five days on two counts: one for refusing to appear for a deposition and the other for refusing to provide documents in response to the committee’s subpoena.
Stephen K. Bannon is an American media executive, political strategist, and former investment banker at Goldman-Sachs, who served for 7 months as President Trump’s chief strategist.
He is currently being tried for contempt of congress, under conditions that could reasonably be described as constituting a show trial. It is Mr. Bannon’s legal position that he could not testify against President Trump due to executive privilege.
