Why Ex-Pak PM Has Been Disqualified From Holding Public Office

The Election Commission of Pakistan has declared Imran Khan was involved in corrupt practices. Former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan was disqualified Friday from running for political office for five years, after the country's election commission ruled he misled officials about gifts he received from foreign leaders while in power. "The ECP (Election Commission of Pakistan) has declared Imran Khan was involved in corrupt practices," Gohar Khan, one of his lawyers, told reporters, adding he had been disqualified for five years.

Trump Ally Steve Bannon Sentenced To Prison For Contempt Of Congress

Donald Trump's former aide Steve Bannon was sentenced Friday to four months in prison for refusing to testify in the congressional probe of the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol. "Today was my judgment day by the judge," Bannon told reporters outside. In addition, he said, Bannon failed to cooperate with the committee on issues not touched by claims of executive privilege. It also showed him advocating for Congress to block Biden -- who defeated Trump in the November 2020 election -- from becoming president. While others were found guilty in the scheme, Trump issued a blanket pardon for Bannon before leaving office in January 2021, leading to the dismissal of the charges against him.
