GW Law Expert Available to Comment on Steve Bannon’s Contempt Trial

WASHINGTON (July 18, 2022)— Jury selection begins Monday for the trial of Steve Bannon, who is facing two counts of contempt of Congress after he failed to appear for a deposition before the Jan. 6 select committee or provide requested documents in response to a subpoena. He faces a minimum sentence of 30 days and a maximum of one year in prison for each count. He has pleaded not guilty. Ahead of his trial, Bannon offered to testify before the committee, a move that prosecutors said would have no bearing on the charges he faces.

Stephen A. Saltzburg is a professor of law and former Justice Department official. Professor Saltzburg is available for commentary on Steve Bannon’s contempt trial.
