Bannon Reports to Prison to Start 4-Month Sentence 

DANBURY, CONNECTICUT - JULY 1: Steve Bannon, the former Donald Trump White House strategist, addresses the media with U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) by his side at the Federal Correctional Institution Danbury where he is expected to begin his four-month sentence on July 1, 2024 in Danbury, Connecticut. Bannon will be imprisoned for contempt of Congress, his conviction for not complying with issued subpoenas by the now-defunct House Select Committee that investigated the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol. Bannon attempted to avoid reporting to prison while challenging his conviction before the federal appeals court in Washington, DC but was denied by the Supreme Court.

Steve Bannon will spend this Independence Day anything but independent.

The former political aide to former Donald Trump reported to federal prison to serve a four-month sentence on Monday, USA Today reported.

Bannon was convicted of contempt of Congress after defying a subpoena from the House committee investigating the Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021.

“I am proud of going to prison today,” Bannon said outside the prison in Danbury, Connecticut. “If this is what it takes the stand up to tyranny, if this way it takes the stand up to the Garland corrupt criminal DOJ, if this is what it takes to stand up to Nancy Pelosi, if this is what it takes to stand up to Joe Biden, I’m proud to do it. “

Bannon, a podcaster, was convicted in July 2022. He was sentenced to four months in prison and fined $6,500. 

Supporters, including Rep. Margorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., held a roadside news conference Monday morning outside the prison. 

Republican Senate candidate Royce White, former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince, and a priest were also present, according to ABC News.

“What group of pirates is out here today,” he said.

Greene called the situation “political persecution.”

“It’s a political war, and it’s a political persecution, and it shouldn’t be happening” Greene said.

A small group chanted, “Trump won.”

Bannon told ABC News, “I’m a political prisoner.” 

“I have not only no regrets,” Bannon said, “I’m actually proud of what I did, I’d feel terrible if I didn’t do it. I don’t mind going to prison today.”

Bannon was one of two former Trump aides who were convicted of defying the committee. 

Peter Navarro, the other aide, is now serving a four-month sentence in a federal prison in Miami. 

He should be released July 17.

On Friday, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts denied an emergency request to postpone the sentence as his appeal continues. 

His lawyer said Bannon will serve his term before the courts reach a decision.
