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.
Prior to beginning his four-month sentence, Bannon broadcast his final edition of War Room for the duration of his imprisonment from outside the federal prison, stating that he is “a political prisoner.”
I’m a political prisoner of Nancy Pelosi. I’m a political prisoner of Merrick Garland. I’m a political prisoner of Joe Biden and the corrupt Biden establishment,” Bannon said. “You saw on Thursday, all the lies that they told. Any group that would sit there and lie to you about the shape of the President of the United States with the National Security element of that, lied about the 2020 election — they’ve lied about COVID, they’ve lied about everything that they’ve done to the American people, and they’re not going to stop. Until we stop them, they’re not going to stop.
