El equipo de defensa argumentó en ese recurso que el exasesor creía que las preocupaciones sobre el privilegio ejecutivo impedían su cooperación en la investigación de la Cámara.

Former Trump strategist Steve Bannon railed against the "Biden regime" after being sentenced to four months in jail for contempt of Congress.

Defence attorney David Schoen - who represented Mr Trump in his second impeachment trial at the US Senate - said that Bannon was acting "on principle". There is nothing here to punish." Even after his departure, the combative and controversial podcaster was considered a top ally of Mr Trump. Bannon was a key player in Mr Trump's successful 2016 election campaign and later took the role of chief strategist at the White House. Bannon has repeatedly made similar statements in the past and falsely claimed that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election. "Today was my judgement day by the judge," Bannon told reporters immediately following the sentencing.

Bannon was the first of four witnesses held in contempt by the select committee for refusing to comply with a subpoena. Nichols said several favors weighed in favor of a “substantial” sentence for Bannon — from the seriousness and significance of the Jan. In the run-up to the weeklong trial, Nichols agreed with prosecutors that longstanding court precedents prevented Bannon from arguing that he was merely following his lawyer’s counsel. Bannon was part of a team of close Trump advisers who helped monitor the strategy in real-time from a command center at the Willard Hotel on Jan. Despite his near silence Friday in front of the judge, after the hearing, Bannon eagerly appeared before cameras camped out outside the court. And Nichols agreed that the same precedent barred Bannon from claiming he believed he was immune from testifying because of Trump’s executive privilege, a decision that stripped Bannon of his strongest defense. His lawyers also stressed that he said he was willing to testify if the privilege issue was resolved through negotiation or by a court. “We might be in a different circumstance had the defendant fulfilled his minimal obligation and that is to show up. “That demeans the integrity of this process.” “The defendant did not lift a finger,” the prosecutor said. The former White House official spoke only briefly, saying he was satisfied with his attorneys and had adequate time to review the probation office’s report on his conduct and background. The select committee subpoenaed Bannon in September 2021 as it sought testimony from close Trump aides involved in efforts to help him subvert the 2020 election.

This sentence for contempt of Congress comes as Donald Trump faces a subpoena from the same committee.

And should the Republican Party take over the House of Representatives after the midterm elections on 8 November, Trump's allies in Congress have vowed to disband - and even investigate - the January 6 committee. But despite the court's admonishments, he lashed out at the Biden administration and called for the US attorney general to be impeached. It was the kind of language that got Bannon in trouble in the first place. Despite the jeers of "fascist traitor!" Mr Trump is not expected to comply, and the move could set off another legal skirmish. A few hours later, the House January 6 committee issued it's most dramatic subpoena yet - to Mr Trump himself.

In November, he was [criminally indicted](https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/11/steve-bannon-criminal-indictment-contempt-of-congress) by the Department of Justice and was found guilty last July on two counts of contempt of Congress for spurning the House panel’s requests for testimony and documents.

While Judge Nichols clearly disagreed, he did not sentence Bannon to the full six-month, $200,000 penalty that the government had asked for this week. Cooney reportedly told the judge that Bannon attempted to hide “behind a fabricated claim of executive privilege and advice of counsel to thumb his nose at Congress.” While Bannon did not speak in his own defense in the courtroom, his message, relayed by his lawyers, was loud and clear. “Stephen Bannon acted as the architect of a multimillion dollar scheme to defraud thousands of donors across the country—including hundreds of Manhattan residents,” District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a statement at the time. He also did not send the Trump adviser directly to jail, instead allowing him to remain free pending his appeal. He added that Bannon “has expressed no remorse” and “has not taken responsibility for his refusal to comply with his subpoena.” Oz’s Senate Campaign](https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2022/10/dr-oz-dog-killing-pennsylvania-senate-race?itm_content=footer-recirc&itm_campaign=more-great-stories-101122)?

More likely, he realized he could be convicted but decided that was worth the risk to make himself into a martyr and claim that the case showed how the “deep state” persecutes right-wing figures. If Trump is reelected president in 2024, Bannon might be in line for another pardon, but that’s some time off, and won’t be a great deal of comfort if Bannon is stuck in a federal prison for months. The committee called his bluff and referred him to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution. He extorted Ukraine for aid in the 2020 election and was impeached, but was saved by Republicans in the Senate, who voted to acquit him. It is a message to those in the Trump orbit that you cannot simply ignore laws, and that Trump’s umbrella of protection has big holes. Using a tactic he’d employed very effectively in the private sector, he sought to tie up any consequences in a flurry of litigation. While Trump was in office, he and many of those in his orbit found that they could defy authority with few consequences.

That the lawmakers moved quickly to hold Bannon in contempt, rather than go the route of filing a civil lawsuit to enforce the subpoena, also cut in his favor, the judge said. He cracked a smirk, however, when the judge announced that he would not have to serve his sentence until after the appeal was litigated. “He has expressed no remorse for his actions,” Nichols said during the proceedings, and the judge stressed that Bannon had not demonstrated that he would comply with the subpoenas. Bannon did not completely ignore the fact that he had received a subpoena,” Nichols said, pointing to Bannon’s use of an attorney who engaged with the committee. Though the sentence was a major rebuke to Bannon’s request that he receive only probation for the offense, US District Judge Carl Nichols sided with Bannon in ruling that the former White House official would not have to serve the prison sentence until the appeal of his conviction plays out. Other factors cut in favor of a substantial penalty as well, the judge said.
