The U.S. Supreme Court has cleared the way for the Justice Department to dismiss the criminal case against Steve Bannon, President Trump’s former chief White House strategist. The justices set aside a lower court decision that upheld Bannon’s conviction on two counts of contempt of Congress, paving the way for the district court to dismiss the case. Bannon was convicted after he refused to comply with a subpoena from the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol, which required him to provide documents and testimony; he served four months in prison.
