Steve Bannon to Report to Prison After Contempt of Congress Conviction

HeadlineJul 01, 2024

President Trump’s former top political adviser is reporting to a federal prison today after he was found guilty of contempt of Congress for defying subpoenas related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection. Steve Bannon is set to begin a four-month sentence after the Supreme Court declined Bannon’s request that it intervene. Just last week, top congressional Republicans led by House Speaker Mike Johnson filed an amicus brief on Bannon’s behalf asking the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to keep Bannon out of jail. Bannon still faces criminal charges in New York for allegedly defrauding donors to an anti-immigrant nonprofit called We Build the Wall out of more than $15 million and for laundering the proceeds.
