Steve Bannon is due to be sentenced at a Washington D.C. court this morning. 🔴 He faces up to two years in prison today, although he is likely to receive a shorter jail sentence. Live updates:
"Federal judges usually stay within the sentencing guidelines, and they rarely run sentences for similar conduct consecutively.
"Because Bannon has no criminal history and was only convicted of misdemeanors, his advisory guideline range is zero to six months in prison. The government is recommending the high end of that range, or six months." Rahmani added that Bannon will certainly receive some jail time over his contempt conviction because of the minimum one-month sentence the offense carries.
