Dissolved (January 3, 2023)

The Supreme Court on April 6, 2026, vacated the appeals court ruling that upheld Steve Bannon's criminal contempt of Congress conviction, sending the case back to the lower courts where the Department of Justice (DOJ) has a pending motion to dismiss the charges entirely. The brief, unsigned order contained no noted dissents. Bannon had already served a four-month federal prison sentence in 2024 for defying a subpoena from the House committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
