A U.S. judge on Oct. 21 sentenced Steve Bannon, a onetime adviser to former President Donald Trump, to four months in prison for contempt of Congress for refusing to answer questions from or provide documents to the U.S. House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol.

U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointee, handed down the sentence in a hearing in Washington. Nichols also ordered Bannon to pay a fine of $6,500.
