Steve Bannon, a top ally of former President Donald Trump, reported to prison in Danbury, Conn., on Monday to begin a four-month sentence for refusing to comply with congressional subpoenas — a term he sought to paint as a political prosecution.

Conservative podcaster Steve Bannon is due to begin his federal prison sentence on Monday, in what promises to be a turbulent few months for the former Trump advisor.

70-year-old Bannon will begin his sentence in Connecticut but could end up facing more jail time in New York.

Why Is Bannon Going To Prison?

Bannon, a former Donald Trump White House chief strategist, was sentenced to four months in October 2022 after he was found guilty of two counts of contempt of Congress.

Former President Donald Trump adviser Stephen K. Bannon reported to federal prison on Monday to begin his four-month prison sentence after being held in contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena from the January 6 Select Committee.

“As director of NIH, you did sign off on these so-called scientific experiments. And as a dog lover, I want to tell you this is disgusting and evil.

Dr. Anthony Fauci said he sees a direct link between the rise in death threats made against him and his family and public figures connecting him to Covid-19 conspiracy theories, which he noted happened earlier Monday during a contentious House hearing about the government’s response to the pandemic.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top U.S. infectious disease expert until leaving the government in 2022, faced heated questioning Monday from Republican lawmakers about the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) was reprimanded by Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio), the chair of the House Oversight and Accountability Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic, for refusing to recognize Anthony Fauci as a doctor while questioning him.

Fauci, who became the face of the administration’s COVID-19 response while serving as head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, testified before the GOP-led committee on Monday for the first time since retiring.
