Steve Bannon, a longtime adviser to former President Donald Trump, has been ordered to surrender to prison by July 1. U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols revoked Bannon's bail and lifted the stay on his sentence, requiring him to serve a four-month term for contempt of Congress. This sentence follows Bannon's failure to comply with a subpoena from the House committee investigating the January 6 Capitol attack. Bannon's appeal of his 2022 conviction was unsuccessful, leading to the enforcement of his prison term. Bannon, a Trump ally, will report to the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
