Bannon looks set to appeal against the latest ruling, with his lawyer saying his case raises 'constitutional issues' the Supreme Court should consider.
Steve Bannon, a long-time ally of Donald Trump, must report to prison by 1 July to start a four-month sentence, a judge has said. Bannon was convicted of contempt in 2022 for refusing to appear at a committee investigating the Capitol riots, and for not providing documents about his involvement with Trump's efforts to overturn the election.
At his 2022 trial, Bannon's lawyer said the charges were politically motivated, denied he had ignored the subpoena to appear, and said Bannon was still negotiating with the congressional committee when he was charged. His lawyer in the current case, David Schoen, told the judge it would not be right to jail him now as he would finish his sentence before he exhausts his avenues of appeal. He said the case raised 'constitutional issues' that the Supreme Court should consider.
