Washington. Un jurado de un tribunal federal declaró culpable de desacato a Steve Bannon, un exasesor de Donald Trump, por haberse negado a colaborar con el comité del Congreso que investiga el asalto al Capitolio.

Bannon, de 68 años, figura del populismo de derecha en Estados Unidos y director de la campaña de Donald Trump en el 2016, conocerá la sentencia en octubre. Este consejero discreto pero muy influyente siguió en contacto con el expresidente republicano hasta los días previos al asalto del 6 de enero del 2021.
