Former Trump White House aide Steve Bannon was found guilty Friday of two counts of contempt of Congress after a trial in federal court in Washington, D.C. "Mr. Bannon had an obligation to appear before the House Select Committee to give testimony and provide documents. Bannon plans to appeal his conviction, which came a day after the Jan. 6 committee held a public hearing that featured evidence that included his own words.

Bannon had served as chief strategist and counselor to Trump for about a half-year before being ousted in mid-2017.
