CNN —A federal judge on Thursday ordered Steve Bannon to report to prison by July 1, giving the former Donald Trump adviser a short window to get a higher court’s intervention.
The federal judge presiding over the case, Carl Nichols, had initially paused the sentence while Bannon appealed the conviction.
Last month, however, a DC Circuit Court of Appeals panel unanimously rejected several challenges Bannon made to the case, and prosecutors immediately asked Nichols to send Bannon to prison to begin serving his sentence.
“We’re going to win at the Supreme Court,” he added.
Navarro is currently serving a four-month prison sentence for his 2023 conviction.
