Steve Bannon Surrenders to Federal Prison, Begins 4-Month Sentence for Contempt of Congress

Steve Bannon surrendered to federal prison in Danbury, Connecticut to begin serving a 4-month sentence for contempt of Congress charges related to defying a subpoena from the January 6th committee. Bannon was found guilty on two counts of contempt for refusing to sit for a deposition and provide documents to the January 6th committee investigating the Capitol attack. Defense attorneys argue that Bannon's case, involving a disputed subpoena due to claimed executive privilege by Trump, merits Supreme Court review. Prosecutors contend that Bannon's departure from the White House years prior and Trump's failure to assert executive privilege before the committee undermines this claim.
