A jury in DC convicted Bannon of contempt of Congress in 2022 after he failed to provide documents and testimony to the House select committee that investigated the Capitol attack. The Department of Justice on Monday also asked the high court to wipe away the appeals court’s judgement. The second, former Trump White House aide Peter Navarro, also served prison time for his 2023 conviction. The records, released by the Justice Department and House Oversight Committee, reveal a close personal relationship — and show Epstein’s deep involvement in Bannon’s ambitions on the world stage. Bannon’s team did not mount a defense during the brief trial, and he did not take the stand.
