Steve Bannon, the rightwing media host and ally of Donald Trump, appears likely to have his criminal conviction dismissed. The Trump administration had moved to dismiss Bannon’s conviction.

An appeals court later upheld his conviction and he spent four months in prison in 2024. “Fundamental separation of powers principles – which are essential to our constitutional framework – lead to one path forward,” Bannon’s attorneys wrote in a filing to the supreme court.
