Federal prosecutors in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday filed a motion requesting that U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols order former Trump adviser Steve Bannon to begin serving his four-month prison sentence after an appeals court last week upheld his conviction on contempt of Congress charges. In a motion filed Tuesday, prosecutors said there is “no legal basis” for the judge to continue the stay on Bannon’s sentence after the U.S.
” Nichols has not yet ruled on the motion. But in an order later Tuesday, the judge ordered Bannon to respond to the motion by Thursday. The office of David I. Schoen, Bannon's attorney, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Bannon was sentenced to four months in prison and fined $6,500 in October 2022 along with after he was found guilty on two counts of contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena by the House Jan. 6 committee to provide documents and testimony.
