Steve Bannon, former advisor to President Donald Trump, is set to report to a low-security federal prison at the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Connecticut on July 1. This follows the Justice Department's recommendation to the Supreme Court, urging them to deny Bannon's bid to stay out of prison pending his appeal. Bannon was convicted nearly two years ago on two counts of contempt of Congress and is facing a four-month prison sentence. The Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed his prison location, and federal prosecutors, quoting Scalia, have emphasized that Bannon's arguments for delaying his sentence lack merit. SG Prelogar stated that the release standard should not depend on the short duration of his sentence or the timing of the presidential election.
