WASHINGTON — Steve Bannon, a longtime ally of former President Donald Trump was convicted Friday of contempt charges for defying a congressional subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

He faces up to two years in a federal lockup when he's sentenced. Each count carries a minimum sentence of 30 days in jail.
