Ex-president Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon has been told to report to prison before July 1 by a federal judge on Thursday.
Bannon is sentenced to four months on two counts of Congress for defying subpoenas from the Jan. 6 Committee after a higher court rejected his appeal.
Despite a plea from Bannon to escape prison, the presiding judge Carl said he did not believe that the original basis for his stay of the imposition of sentence existed any longer after an appeals court upheld Bannon’s conviction.
Bannon is sentenced for the same offense Peter Navarro who refused to abide with the Jan. 6 Committee subpoena but Bannon’s sentence was put on hold pending appeal.
The court finalized its verdict on Bannon’s conviction in May with the federal prosecutors filing a motion for the accused to report to prison arguing that, there was no legal basis for the continued stay of the sentence after the federal appeals court rejected the appeal.
