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.

Bannon spoke to reporters outside the prison before entering the prison grounds at noon.

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.

Here are some key questions about his sentencing:

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.

Bannon, the host of the War Room podcast, reported to the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut, around noon, according to CBS News.

Donald Trump’s former top adviser Steve Bannon has told the BBC he does not fear going to prison or watching the former president’s 2024 campaign from behind bars.

After being convicted of contempt of Congress, the man who was seen as the power behind the scenes in the White House at the start of Trump’s presidential term in 2017 will report to a federal prison in Connecticut on Monday.

The Supreme Court ruled Friday that Steve Bannon must begin his four-month prison sentence on contempt of Congress charges as his appeal proceeds. 

The one-sentence order, which had no public dissents, keeps in place Monday’s deadline for the onetime Trump strategist to report to prison, rejecting Bannon’s emergency effort to delay it. 

Speaker Mike Johnson announced Tuesday night he has approved having the U.S. House intervene in Steve Bannon’s contempt case just days before the former Trump aide was set to report to prison.

Johnson told Fox News host Sean Hannity he has authorized the House counsel to file an amicus brief supporting Bannon’s emergency appeal to the Supreme Court, arguing the Democrat-run January 6 committee was illegitimately formed, and its work compromised. 

Trump ally Steve Bannon petitioned the Supreme Court Friday to stay out of prison while he appeals his conviction for contempt of Congress for not complying with a subpoena from House Democrats’ Jan. 6 committee.

His lawyers told the justices that Mr. Bannon seeks to continue to be free on bail pending his appeal.

Ex-Trump adviser Steve Bannon filed an emergency appeal Friday with the Supreme Court — a last-ditch bid to stay out of prison while appealing his conviction for evading the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack. 

“An even-handed approach thus strongly favors allowing Mr. Bannon to remain on release,” Bannon attorney Trent McCotter wrote in the 47-page appeal to the high court. 

A federal appeals court panel on Thursday rejected longtime Donald Trump ally Steve Bannon’s bid to stay out of prison while he fights his conviction for defying a subpoena from the House committee that investigated the U.S. Capitol attack.

Bannon is supposed to report to prison by July 1 to begin serving his four-month sentence for contempt of Congress.

The Democratic establishment appears keen to lock up not only Trump ahead of the 2024 election but his allies as well.

Afederal judge has ordered former Trump adviser and "War Room" host Stephen K. Bannon to report to jail by July 1.

Bannon told reporters outside the courthouse Thursday that "all of this is about one thing. This is about shutting down the MAGA movement, shutting down grassroots conservatives, shutting down President Trump."
