WASHINGTON — A federal judge will hear arguments Thursday on whether former Trump adviser Steve Bannon should have to begin his four-month prison sentence for defying subpoenas from the Jan. 6 Committee after a higher court rejected his appeal. Bannon was sentenced more than a year and a half ago, in October 2022, to four months behind bars, the same sentence currently being served by former Trump adviser Peter Navarro, who also refused to comply with a Jan. 6 Committee subpoena.
Federal prosecutors told Nichols there was 'no legal basis' for the continued stay of the sentence after the federal appeals court rejected the appeal. Bannon smiled as he went through security to enter the courthouse Thursday morning. A person nearby said “Trump '24!” to him and Bannon smiled and shook his hand. Bannon’s lawyers have argued that the sentence should be stayed until they appeal it to the full appeals court and the Supreme Court.
