Federal prosecutors have initiated proceedings to dismiss the criminal case against conservative activist Stephen Bannon. Bloomberg posted on X that Bannon had been challenging his conviction for defying a congressional subpoena, even after serving a four-month prison sentence. The decision to end the case marks a significant development in the legal proceedings surrounding Bannon, who has been a prominent figure in conservative circles. The move comes after Bannon's persistent efforts to contest the conviction, which stemmed from his refusal to comply with a subpoena issued by Congress. This legal action had previously led to his imprisonment, but the latest steps by prosecutors indicate a shift in the handling of the case.
