Steve Bannon served four months in prison because he refused to comply with a subpoena issued by the committee investigating the attack on the Capitol. A court found him guilty of contempt of Congress. An appeals court upheld the conviction. The case now stands before the Supreme Court. And at this very moment, the Justice Department is stepping in - not to defend the verdict, but to make it disappear. The Trump administration wants to drop the criminal case against its longtime confidant. Solicitor General D. John Sauer has asked the Supreme Court to vacate the appeals court\u2019s decision and remand the case to a lower court - with the clear objective of having it dismissed there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motion of the Government to Dismiss the Charges (Unopposed)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 48(a), the United States of America, by and through the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, respectfully moves that this Court dismiss with prejudice the above-captioned proceeding against Defendant Stephen K. Bannon. The Government, in the exercise of its prosecutorial discretion, has determined that dismissal of this criminal case is in the interest of justice. Defendant Bannon does not oppose this motion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grounds: Therefore, the United States of America respectfully requests that the Court grant this motion. Submitted by Jeanine Ferris Pirro, United States Attorney. (WOW, this leaves one speechless - Editorial Note)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Bannon\u2019s attorneys had consistently argued that he did not willfully ignore the subpoena. They claimed he had merely sought to avoid violating potential assertions of executive privilege invoked by Trump. The courts did not accept that argument. They found a deliberate contempt of Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
