Bannon entered prison in July 2022 after being sentenced to four months for contempt of Congress. He was scheduled to testify before the House committee investigating what happened on Jan. 6, 2021, and did not appear.
When questioned by the media about whether he believed it was worth going to prison for not testifying before Congress, he assured "1,000 percent."
"If you’re not prepared to go to prison to fight for your country, you’re not prepared to fight for your country," the political adviser maintained.
