The court addressed Bannon&#8217;s appeal in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.supremecourt.gov\/orders\/courtorders\/040626zor_5iek.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">brief order<\/a> with no noted dissents.<\/p>\n<p>The Justice Department has asked the district court to <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/doj-steve-bannon-criminal-charges-motion-to-dismiss\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">dismiss Bannon&#8217;s criminal case<\/a><\/span>, and the Supreme Court&#8217;s order clears the way for the government to pursue that dismissal.<\/p>\n<p>Bannon <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/steve-bannon-released-prison\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">served a four-month prison sentence<\/a><\/span> in 2024 after the Supreme Court <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/supreme-court-steve-bannon-prison-appeal\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">denied his bid<\/a><\/span> to remain out of prison while he pursued his appeal of his conviction.<\/p>\n<p>The saga over Bannon&#8217;s conviction dates back to 2021, after Mr. Trump&#8217;s first term, when the House Jan. 6 committee issued a subpoena seeking documents and testimony related to Bannon&#8217;s communications with Mr. Trump about efforts to reverse the outcome of the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<p>Bannon <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/steve-bannon-subpoena-january-6-select-committee\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">declined to comply<\/a><\/span> with the demand, arguing that a lawyer for the president had indicated that Mr. Trump had invoked executive privilege over the material sought by lawmakers, which prevented Bannon from turning it over.<\/p>\n<p>Bannon served as Mr. Trump&#8217;s chief strategist in the first months of his first term, but was fired in 2017 and was a private citizen at the time of the 2020 election.<\/p>\n<p>The House <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/live-updates\/steve-bannon-criminal-contempt-january-6-subpoena-house-vote\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">voted to find Bannon in contempt<\/a><\/span> of Congress after he rebuffed the subpoena, and he was then indicted on two counts of criminal contempt of Congress.
