Supreme Court GVR vacates Bannon contempt of Congress conviction

The U.S. Supreme Court issued a GVR order in Bannon v. United States, vacating the D.C. Circuit's ruling upholding Steve Bannon's contempt of Congress conviction and remanding the case to district court. No justice noted a dissent. The Trump DOJ had moved to dismiss the indictment in February 2026. The GVR cleared the procedural path for dismissal.
