Former Trump advisor Steve Bannon reported to prison Monday and is now officially in custody, according to The Associated Press.
Bannon will serve a four-month sentence for his conviction on contempt of Congress charges for ignoring a subpoena from the Jan. 6 select committee. The Supreme Court declined on Friday to postpone his sentence while he appeals the conviction.
The Bureau of Prisons confirmed Monday that he is now in custody, according to the AP. He began his sentence at Federal Correctional Institute Danbury just before noon, ABC News reported.
“I am proud to go to prison,” Bannon said before entering the prison, according to ABC News. “If this is what it takes the stand up to tyranny, if this way it takes the stand up to the Garland corrupt criminal DOJ, if this is what it takes to stand up to Nancy Pelosi, if this is what it takes to stand up to Joe Biden to Joe Biden, I’m proud to do it.”
