TL;DR

The DOJ filed an unopposed motion to dismiss the criminal contempt case against Steve Bannon tied to his refusal to testify before the January 6 committee, arguing it serves the interests of justice; Bannon was convicted in 2022, served four months in 2024, and the move comes amid a string of Jan. 6 case dismissals and pardons.
