Steve Bannon sentenced for refusing to testify over Capitol siege

Steve Bannon, the former White House adviser to Donald Trump, has been sentenced to four months in prison.

He had been convicted of defying a subpoena to appear before a congressional committee investigating the 6 January 2021 assault on the US Capitol.

Bannon has also been handed a $6,500 fine.

His prison sentence has been delayed pending an appeal - meaning he won't walk into jail straight away.
