Original Note:
The claim Steve Bannon's prison sentence is "direct election interference" is unfounded. Bannon's conviction is for defying a subpoena from the January 6th committee, not related to election activities. Courts have upheld his conviction and the process follows the rule of law https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/06/us/politics/steve-bannon-surrender.html https://www.politico.com/news/2024/05/10/appeals-court-upholds-steve-bannons-conviction-for-defying-jan-6-probe-00157301
