US Supreme Court clears way to dismiss Steve Bannon contempt conviction

On 2026-04-06, the US Supreme Court threw out a lower-court ruling upholding Steve Bannon’s contempt of Congress conviction and sent the case back for further consideration of the Trump Justice Department’s motion to dismiss the indictment. The action was tied to Bannon’s refusal to provide documents or testimony to a congressional committee investigating the January 6 Capitol attack.
