Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon must pay Davidoff Hutcher & Citron nearly $500,000 in outstanding legal fees, a judge has ruled.

Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arlene Bluth on Friday granted the firm's motion for partial summary judgment, finding that Bannon, who was an advisor to ex-President Donald Trump in the White House, had entered into a retainer agreement, received invoices, and did not object to the amounts owed in a timely manner.
