Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality. Trump was born and raised in the New York City borough of Queens, and received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School. He took charge of his family's real-estate business in 1971, renamed it The Trump Organization, and expanded its operations from Queens and Brooklyn into Manhattan.
The company built or renovated skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump later started various side ventures, mostly by licensing his name. He owned the Miss Universe and Miss USA beauty pageants from 1996 to 2015, and produced and hosted The Apprentice, a reality television show, from 2003 to 2015. Forbes estimates his net worth to be $3.1 billion.
Prosecutors Recommend Steve Bannon Be Sentenced To Six Months In Prison For Failing To Comply With January 6th Committee Subpoena
deadline.comUPDATED: Federal prosecutors have recommended that Steve Bannon be sentenced to six months in prison for flouting a subpoena issued last year by the January 6th Committee.
Bannon is scheduled to be sentenced on Friday after a jury in July found him guilty of contempt of Congress charges. The minimum sentence is 31 days, but in a filing on Monday, prosecutors wrote that Bannon “has pursued a bad faith strategy of defiance and contempt” to warrant a maximum penalty.
Prosecutors also recommended a $200,000 fine “based on his insistence on paying the maximum fine rather than cooperate with the Probation Office’s routine pre-sentencing financial investigation.” Later on Monday, Bannon’s attorneys filed their own sentencing recommendation, arguing that he should be sentenced to probation, and to stay that sentence pending appeal.
His attorneys argued that he was convicted “without being allowed to introduce evidence negating willfulness, and specifically, evidence that he relied in good faith on his counsel’s advice.” Bannon, a Hollywood film producer in the 1990s who then pursued politics via documentaries and at Brietbart.com, served as chief adviser to Donald Trump for the first six months of his presidency.
