Steve Bannon reported to FCI Danbury in Connecticut today to begin serving a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress. Bannon served as former President Donald Trump’s chief strategist in 2017, and following the events of January 6, 2021, he was subpoenaed by the U.S. House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack.

Bannon did not appear before the committee, having claimed he was exempt from the subpoena due to Trump asserting executive privilege over his testimony and documents. The House of Representatives voted to hold Bannon in contempt of Congress for not appearing and not providing documents.

Bannon spoke before reporting to FCI Danbury, stating, “I am proud to go to prison, if this is what it takes to stand up to tyranny, if this is what it takes to 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 has previously avoided criminal convictions, with Trump having issued a presidential pardon on his last day in office to dismiss federal fraud and money-laundering charges, and misdemeanor domestic violence charges in January 1996 being dismissed after Bannon’s ex-wife Mary Piccard did not appear at a court hearing.
