Bannon Faces Sanctions, Jail Time As Legal Woes Pile Up
• Steve Bannon faces possible sanctions for refusing to pay $484,197 he owes his former lawyer, Bob Costello.
• Bannon has stalled efforts by Costello's law firm to collect payment, including dodging a deposition and refusing to provide financial records.
• The firm has asked the court to sanction Bannon and his current lawyer up to $109,000 each for "intentional dilatory litigation tactics."
• Bannon faces a 4-month prison sentence for contempt of Congress and another trial in May for alleged "Build the Wall" fraud.
• The firm claims Bannon's stalling "severely" impedes their ability to collect the substantial judgment and wants sanctions to deter further bad faith tactics.
