Trumpappointed judge shoots down Bannon lawyer claim that there's no mandatory minimum for his crimes
"On Friday, longtime Donald Trump ally Steve Bannon faced his sentencing hearing for contempt of Congress — and his attorney was swatted down by Judge Carl Nichols, himself a Trump appointee, over his argument that Bannon is not subject to a mandatory minimum sentence.
According to Law & Crime's Adam Klasfeld, David Schoen, the lawyer representing Bannon, claimed that the statute his client was convicted of violating, 18 U.S.C. § 192 (refusal of witness to testify or produce papers) does not include a mandatory minimum. But Nichols was quick to point out that the statute explicitly says the offense is "punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000 nor less than $100 and imprisonment in a common jail for not less than one month nor more than twelve months."
Schoen, who also represented Trump during his second impeachment trial, claimed this isn't really a minimum or a maximum — to which Nichols replied, "You've made that argument. You've preserved it. I reject it." Nichols ruled that the minimum will apply.
Bannon was charged and subsequently convicted of contempt of Congress over his blanket refusal to testify or provide any requested information to the House Select Committee on January 6."
