The top Donald Trump ally has appealed to have a contempt of Congress conviction thrown following a four-month sentence last July.
Former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon looks likely to lose an appeal over his contempt of Congress conviction, a legal expert told Newsweek, but Bannon's lawyer explained why he believes Bannon's appeal should be upheld.Oral arguments will be heard on Thursday at an appeals court in Washington, D.C.
