The jury is out for deliberations in the misdemeanor contempt of Congress charge against former Trump aide Steve Bannon after prosecutors and defense wrapped up their closing arguments Friday. If convicted, the former Trump advisor would face a mandatory minimum sentence of 30 days incarceration and up to one year behind bars. He could also face a fine of up to 1,000. Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors told the jury that ignoring a congressional subpoena is like ignoring a parking ticket. DOJ prosecutor Molly Gaston said that with a parking ticket, there are two options: show up to court and try to fight it or pay it.
