The Supreme Court opened the door Monday for former Trump advisor Steve Bannon’s contempt of Congress charges to be dismissed.
The justices tossed a ruling upholding Bannon’s conviction and sent the case back for the lower court to consider dismissing his indictment.
The Trump Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a motion to dismiss the case against Bannon in February. Bannon served four months in prison after he was convicted on contempt of Congress charges for ignoring a subpoena from the Jan. 6 select committee.
In his petition filed with the justices in October, Bannon argued his conviction “must be vacated because he was not allowed to argue at trial that he resisted the subpoena on grounds of executive privilege.”
