Steve Bannon has been ordered to report to prison by July 1st after being found guilty of contempt of Congress for refusing to cooperate with the January 6th Select House Committee. Bannon, a former Trump White House advisor and prominent figure in the MAGA movement, has been vocal in his defiance and determination to fight the conviction.
The decision to send Bannon to prison was unexpected by his legal team, who had hoped for further delays and appeals. Bannon was initially convicted in July 2022 for two counts of contempt of Congress and was sentenced to four months behind bars, a sentence that was put on hold pending appeals.
