Facing multiple felony counts and up to 15 years in prison, Bannon's plea agreement resulted in a three-year conditional discharge with no jail time if he remains law-abiding. This case relates to accusations of misappropriating millions raised for the wall project. Notably, Bannon had previously received a pardon from Trump and has faced other legal issues, including contempt of Congress charges.
