 Longtime Trump ally Steve Bannon was taken into custody Monday after surrendering at a federal prison to begin a four-month sentence on contempt charges for defying a subpoena in the congressional probe into the U.S. Capitol attack. Bannon attempted to paint himself a political prisoner rather than somebody who broke the law. His attempt at a news conference was interrupted several times with chants of, lock him up. Political prisoner of Merrick Garland. I'm a political prisoner. I'm a political prisoner of Joe Biden, the corrupt Biden establishment.
