Steve Bannon Ordered to Begin Prison Sentence by July 1 for Contempt of Congress
TL;DR
A federal judge has ordered former Trump adviser Steve Bannon to report to prison on July 1 to begin a four-month sentence for defying subpoenas from the Jan. 6 Committee, following the rejection of his appeal by a higher court. Bannon's lawyers plan to appeal the ruling further, potentially to the Supreme Court, while federal prosecutors argue there is no legal basis for delaying the sentence.
