Former Trump administration adviser and War Room podcast host Steve Bannon could soon find himself behind bars for his contempt of Congress conviction, a dire possibility his attorney said would only “strengthen” the former president’s base.

The Justice Department requested this week that the judge overseeing Bannon’s criminal contempt case start his four-month prison sentence after an appeals court last week upheld his conviction. Bannon’s attorney David Schoen told the Washington Examiner on Wednesday the federal government’s request “reflects a completely political agenda.”
