Steve Bannon, a longtime ally of former President Donald Trump, reported to a federal prison in Danbury, Connecticut on July 1, 2024 to begin serving a four-month sentence for defying a congressional subpoena. The Supreme Court had denied his last-ditch effort to delay the sentence while he appealed his contempt of Congress convictions.
Bannon arrived at the prison before noon and used his final moments of freedom to host a rally and live-streamed news conference, surrounded by supporters waving flags and ringing cowbells. During his speech, Bannon predicted big victories for Republicans in this year's election and slammed what he called 'the ruling elite' in America.
Bannon was found guilty of two counts of contempt after refusing to comply with a subpoena from the House committee investigating the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot. He is one of several figures close to Trump who have had legal problems, including Trump himself who was convicted on 34 felony charges in state court in New York in late May.
Bannon's appeal will continue to play out and Republican House leaders have put their support behind stepping in to assert that the subpoena Bannon received was illegitimate. Another Trump aide, trade adviser Peter Navarro, has also been convicted of contempt of Congress and reported to prison in March to serve his four-month sentence.
