联邦上诉法院维持史蒂夫·班农藐视法庭罪的判决。 Federal appeals court upholds Steve Bannon's contempt conviction.
联邦上诉法院维持了对前总统唐纳德·特朗普的长期顾问史蒂夫·班农的藐视法庭罪判决,因为他无视了 1 月 6 日众议院特别委员会的传票。 The federal appeals court has upheld the contempt conviction of Steve Bannon, a longtime advisor to former President Donald Trump, for defying a subpoena from the January 6 House select committee. 法院驳回了班农对藐视国会罪名的质疑,坚称他声称依赖法律建议不遵守传票的辩护理由不成立。 The court rejected Bannon's challenges to his contempt of Congress conviction, maintaining that his claim of relying on legal advice to not comply with the subpoena was not a valid defense. 因此,班农可能很快成为第二位因无视委员会传票而入狱的特朗普前助手。 As a result, Bannon could soon be the second former Trump aide to be jailed for ignoring a subpoena from the committee.
