The court released the adviser of ex-President Trump Bannon from arrest and took away the passport 
Adviser to former President Donald Trump Steve Bannon with restrictive conditions. Trump's aide was charged with contempt of Congress for refusing to testify about the storming of the Capitol, RIA Novosti reports.
Released from arrest, Bannon was ordered to report by phone every week. In addition, the passport of the main ideologist of Trump's presidency will be taken away. He will also have to report his travels outside Washington to the authorities.
On the morning of November 15, Bannon surrendered to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), where he was arrested on two counts of contempt of Congress. For each of them, Bannon faces up to a year in prison. The next court hearing, at which the adviser will have to respond to the charges, is scheduled for November 18.
The Justice Department accused Bannon in connection with the investigation into the events in the Capitol that occurred on January 6, 2021. Bannon's political consultant under Trump worked as a White House strategist.
On January 6, supporters of US President Donald Trump, who lost the election, stormed the Capitol building in Washington and stopped the work of Congress for several hours. As a result of the riots, a protester and a policeman were killed, and three more died from causes unrelated to violence. The police freed the Congress building from the participants in the assault, after which the United States announced the victory of Joe Biden in the presidential election.
