Jun 6, 2024, 04:48 PM

Steve Bannon, a longtime adviser to former President Donald Trump, has been ordered by U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols to surrender to federal prison by July 1 to serve a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress. This decision follows Bannon's failed appeal of a 2022 conviction for defying a subpoena from the House committee investigating the January 6 Capitol attack. Judge Nichols also revoked Bannon's bail, ensuring he will begin his sentence as scheduled. Bannon has publicly stated his continued support for Trump and his unwillingness to be silenced by imprisonment.
