Former Trump adviser and campaign manager Steve Bannon has pleaded not guilty to criminal contempt of Congress charges for refusing to comply with a subpoena from the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol.

Earlier this week, Bannon was charged in federal court with two misdemeanor contempt charges after he wouldn’t comply with demands from the House’s Jan. 6 panel to produce documents and to submit to a deposition. The charges each carry a minimum of 30 days to a maximum of one year in jail and fines of $100 to $1,000, according to the Department of Justice.
