Steve Bannon, a former White House chief strategist and ally of Donald Trump, has reported to federal prison in Danbury, Connecticut, to begin serving a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress related to the January 6 Capitol riots. Bannon was convicted over two years ago for refusing to comply with a congressional subpoena and has since exhausted all legal avenues, including a last-minute appeal to the Supreme Court. Despite his incarceration, Bannon claims his influence will grow, continuing to impact the political landscape and supporting Trump's 2024 campaign. He faces additional state charges for alleged fraud related to a border wall fundraising scheme. Bannon has characterized himself as a political prisoner, arguing that his case raises significant constitutional issues.
