Bannon, former White House chief strategist under ex-President Donald Trump's administration and a leading voice in Trump's Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement, was found guilty by a federal jury in July 2022 of two counts of contempt of Congress after he refused to comply with an October 2021 subpoena from the House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack. The committee investigated the events surrounding the riot at the U.S. Capitol building on January 6, 2021, and Trump's alleged role in it.
