Trump Ally Steve Bannon Surrenders to Federal Prison to Serve 4-month Sentence on Contempt Charges
SUMMARY: Longtime Trump ally Steve Bannon has begun a four-month prison sentence after surrendering to federal authorities in Danbury, Connecticut. Bannon’s incarceration follows his conviction on contempt charges for defying a congressional subpoena related to the U.S. Capitol attack investigation. A judge allowed Bannon to remain free for nearly two years during his appeal, but ordered him to report to prison after an appeals court upheld the conviction. The Supreme Court rejected Bannon’s emergency appeal. Bannon’s legal battle continues, with support from Republican House leaders, who claim the Jan. 6 committee was improperly established.
