Steve Bannon, the former executive chairman of right-wing outlet Breitbart News and former adviser to President Donald Trump, talks to the press during a March 2019 event in Rome.

After years of operating on the far-right fringe of American politics, Steve Bannon became one of the most influential members of Donald Trump's White House.

However, Bannon's time in the White House did not last long. He was fired in August 2017.

Bannon went to trial for his failure to comply with the House's investigation of the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021. He was found guilty of contempt of Congress charges for defying a subpoena seeking information about his role in efforts to undermine the 2020 election results.
