Steve Bannon exonerated by June 30? Prediction Market OddsSteve Bannon’s 2022 conviction for contempt of Congress is poised to be overturned by June 30 after the Supreme Court threw out an appellate ruling that had upheld the case. The decision has cleared the way for lower-court action that could formally nullify the conviction tied to Bannon’s refusal to comply with a subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
The expected reversal would mark a significant legal victory for the former Trump White House strategist, who was convicted on two misdemeanor counts in 2022. Courts are now expected to determine the final disposition of the case in line with the Supreme Court’s intervention, with official action anticipated before the end of the month.
The case has been closely watched as part of broader legal battles over congressional subpoena authority and executive privilege claims raised by former Trump advisers. A formal reversal would eliminate the conviction itself, rather than merely reopening procedural questions around the earlier appeals process.
