Former White House strategist Steve Bannon was convicted of contempt of Congress Friday, following a swift trial featuring just two government witnesses who detailed the longtime Donald Trump aide’s defiance of a House committee’s demand for records and testimony in its investigation of the Capitol attack.

The federal court jury deliberated less than three hours before delivering guilty verdicts on two counts, dealing victories to the special House committee which initiated the contempt proceedings and the Justice Department’s prosecution.

Sentencing is set for Oct. 21.

Appearing outside the courthouse, Bannon said he "respected" the jury's decision but vowed to appeal.

"We may have lost the battle here today, but we haven't lost the war," he told reporters, his right arm slung around attorney David Shoen.
