- 摘要
- 班农是特朗普的长期盟友，也是右翼媒体名人
- 他于2022年被判藐视国会罪
- 班农拒绝配合针对1月6日国会骚乱调查的传票
华盛顿，4月6日（路透社）——美国最高法院周一为司法部推进驳回一起刑事案件扫清了道路。该案中，唐纳德·特朗普总统的得力盟友史蒂夫·班农因拒绝配合国会传票而被判有罪。
大法官们推翻了下级法院维持班农2022年定罪的裁决。班农当时拒绝向调查2021年1月6日特朗普支持者袭击美国国会大厦事件的国会委员会移交文件或作证。

特朗普任内的司法部在敦促最高法院推翻下级法院裁决时，在法庭文件中告诉大法官们，司法部已认定驳回班农的案件“符合司法利益”。该部门此前已在初审法院提交了驳回案件的动议。
2024年6月，最高法院驳回了班农在上诉期间免于入狱的请求后，他在康涅狄格州丹伯里的一所低安全级别联邦监狱服刑四个月。
司法部周一拒绝置评。
最高法院在一份简短的无署名裁决中，将案件发回下级法院，“鉴于目前有待审理的驳回起诉动议”进行进一步审理。

班农在华盛顿的陪审团面前被判两项藐视国会罪名成立，原因是他未能向由民主党主导的众议院委员会提供文件或证词，该委员会正在调查国会大厦袭击事件。
骚乱者试图阻止国会认证民主党人乔·拜登在共和党人特朗普2020年连任竞选失败中击败他的选举结果。班农称众议院委员会的调查以及拜登政府期间司法部对他提出的指控具有政治动机。
现年72岁的班农曾是特朗普2016年总统竞选团队的关键顾问，并在2017年特朗普首届任期内担任白宫首席战略师，之后两人关系破裂，后来又修复了关系。
在该案的量刑听证会上，检察官J·P·库尼表示，班农选择“对国会嗤之以鼻”。库尼说：“班农并非凌驾于法律之上，这正是本案的重要意义所在。”
班农在特朗普击败民主党人卡玛拉·哈里斯赢得2024年大选的一周前获释。
班农将自己标榜为政治犯，获释后告诉记者：“我远未被击垮。在丹伯里联邦监狱的四个月让我更加强大。”他重新主持了自己的“作战室”播客节目。
作为一名激进派人士，班农助力塑造了“美国优先”右翼民粹主义立场以及对移民的强烈反对态度，这些都成为特朗普总统任期的标志性特征。班农在右翼媒体中发挥了重要作用，并在美国和海外推广右翼事业与候选人。
作为右翼知名人士，班农经常受邀参加公开活动，例如上个月他在德克萨斯州举行的年度保守派政治行动会议上发表了演讲。
根据众议院委员会的说法，班农在1月6日袭击发生前一天至少与特朗普通话两次，出席了在华盛顿一家酒店举行的策划会议，并在其播客中表示“明天将天下大乱”。
美国哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院2024年维持了对班农的定罪，促使他向最高法院提起上诉。
班农的律师提出了各种法律论点来质疑该传票，包括与行政特权相关的问题——这一法律原则允许总统对某些通信保密——以及国会委员会发出传票的权限。
班农还面临其他法律问题。2025年2月，班农在纽约州法院承认一项欺诈罪名，此前检察官指控他在2019年一场支持特朗普修建美墨边境墙的私人筹款活动中欺骗捐赠者。班农在该案中免于入狱。
2021年，特朗普在班农因涉及边境墙筹款的联邦指控被起诉后赦免了他。

- Summary
- Bannon is a longtime Trump ally and right-wing media star
- He was convicted in 2022 of contempt of Congress
- Bannon defied a subpoena in the January 6 riot probe
WASHINGTON, April 6 (Reuters) – The U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way on Monday for the Justice Department to move forward with dismissing a criminal case in which Steve Bannon, an influential ally of President Donald Trump, was convicted after defying a congressional subpoena.
The justices threw out a lower court’s decision to uphold Bannon’s 2022 conviction for refusing to turn over documents or testify to a congressional panel that investigated the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters.

Trump’s Justice Department, in urging the Supreme Court to toss the lower court’s decision, told the justices in court papers it has determined that dismissal of Bannon’s case “is in the interests of justice.” The department already had filed a motion to dismiss the case at the trial court level.
After the Supreme Court in June 2024 denied Bannon’s request to keep him out of prison while his appeal played out, he served a four-month sentence at a low-security federal facility in Danbury, Connecticut.
The Justice Department declined to comment on Monday.
The Supreme Court, in a brief unsigned order, returned the case to the lower court for further consideration “in light of the pending motion to dismiss the indictment.”

Bannon was convicted by a jury in Washington on two counts of contempt of Congress for failing to provide documents or testimony to a Democratic-led House of Representatives committee investigating the Capitol attack.
The rioters had tried to prevent congressional certification of Democrat Joe Biden’s election victory over Trump in the Republican president’s unsuccessful 2020 reelection bid. Bannon called the House committee’s probe and the charges brought against him by the Justice Department during Biden’s presidency politically motivated.
Bannon, 72, served as a key adviser to Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and his chief White House strategist in 2017 during Trump’s first term in office before a falling out between them that was later patched up.
At the sentencing hearing in the case, prosecutor J.P. Cooney said that Bannon chose to “thumb his nose at Congress.” Bannon “is not above the law, and that’s what makes this case important,” Cooney said.
Bannon was released from prison a week before Trump’s victory over Democrat Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.
Bannon cast himself as a political prisoner and told reporters upon his release, “I am far from broken. I have been empowered by my four months at Danbury federal prison.” Bannon resumed hosting his “War Room” podcast.
A firebrand, Bannon helped articulate the “America First” right-wing populism and stout opposition to immigration that has helped define Trump’s presidency. Bannon has played an instrumental role in right-wing media and has promoted right-wing causes and candidates in the United States and abroad.
Bannon, in demand for public appearances as a prominent figure on the right, spoke last month in Texas, for instance, at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference.
According to the House committee, Bannon spoke with Trump at least twice on the day before the January 6 attack, attended a planning meeting at a Washington hotel, and said on his podcast that “all hell is going to break loose tomorrow.”
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in 2024 upheld Bannon’s conviction, prompting his appeal to the Supreme Court.
Lawyers for Bannon have raised various legal arguments to contest the subpoena, including issues related to executive privilege, a legal principle that lets a president keep certain communications private, and the congressional committee’s authority to issue the subpoena.
Bannon has faced other legal issues as well. Bannon pleaded guilty in New York state court in February 2025 to a fraud charge after being accused by prosecutors of deceiving donors in 2019 in a private fundraising drive to support Trump’s wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. Bannon avoided jail time in that case.
Trump in 2021 pardoned Bannon after he was indicted on federal charges also relating to the border wall fundraising.
