The U.S. Justice Department on Monday recommended a six-month jail sentence and a $200,000 fine for former President Donald Trump's adviser Steve Bannon, saying he pursued a "bad-faith strategy of defiance and contempt" against the congressional committee probing the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
Bannon, an influential far-right political figure, was convicted in July on two counts of contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena.
Each count is punishable by between 30 days to one year in prison and a fine ranging between $100 to $100,000.
He is due to be sentenced before U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols on Friday morning.
