Steve Bannon Ordered to Pay Nearly $500K in Unpaid Legal Fees

Former White House adviser Steve Bannon was ordered by a judge to pay over $480,000 in unpaid legal fees to the law firm Davidoff Hutcher & Citron.
The fees were for the law firm's work representing Bannon in criminal cases related to his refusal to comply with a congressional subpoena and allegations of defrauding donors to a border wall fundraising campaign.
Bannon only paid $375,000 of an $850,000 bill from the law firm, leading them to sue him for breach of contract.
Bannon's claim that he stopped paying because one lawyer may testify as a witness was rejected.
Bannon was convicted of contempt of Congress, sentenced to four months in jail, and is appealing; he also faces money laundering charges related to the fundraising campaign.
