Steve Bannon, MAGA Guru, Begins His 4-Month Prison Sentence
Steve Bannon on Monday arrived at a federal prison in Connecticut to begin serving his four-month sentence after being convicted on contempt charges for defying a subpoena from the House Jan. 6 committee.
The former Donald Trump White House adviser had been allowed to remain free for almost two years after he was found guilty on two counts of contempt of Congress for refusing to hand over documents or testify to the panel. Bannon had tried to delay his sentence while his appeal against his conviction plays out, but the Supreme Court rejected that last-ditch stalling attempt on Friday.
Before he turned himself in, Bannon hosted one last segment of his War Room podcast and a rally near the Danbury penitentiary—one that featured Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and military contractor Erik Prince.
