A judge ruled Thursday that Steve Bannon, who was ordered to serve time in prison for contempt of Congress after he refused to comply with a subpoena from the House Jan. 6 Committee, will have to report to jail to serve his sentence while appealing the case.

Bannon, an ex-White House aide of former President Donald Trump, must report to prison by July 1, multiple outlets reported Thursday.
Bannon was sentenced in October 2022 to serve four months in prison and pay a $6,500 fine for contempt of Congress, but his jail term was postponed at the time while he appealed.
Bannon’s lawyers argued he should be allowed to continue to postpone his sentence because—even though an appeals court rejected his appeal—he is still able to appeal to the D.C. Circuit court or the U.S. Supreme Court, Reuters reported.
