U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointee, had previously paused Bannon’s four-month sentence while he appealed his conviction.
A federal judge has ordered Steve Bannon, a longtime ally of former President Donald Trump, to report to prison by July 1 for his conviction for defying a subpoena from the Jan. 6 committee.
Bannon intends to continue appealing the case to the full bench of the D.C. Circuit and the Supreme Court. But unless one of those courts steps in to block Nichols’ decision, Bannon is unlikely to be able to stave off prison in the meantime. “I do not believe that the original basis for my stay of Mr. Bannon’s sentence exists anymore,” Nichols said from the bench of the federal district courthouse in Washington, D.C.
Bannon is the second former Trump White House adviser headed to prison for defying the Jan. 6 committee. Peter Navarro, a former Trump trade adviser, is currently serving a four-month sentence in Miami for blowing off a subpoena from the panel. The appeals court’s rejection of Navarro’s bid to stay out of jail was a key factor in Nichols’ decision to revoke Bannon’s bail.
