Bannon Won’t Spend Prison Term at ‘Club Fed’

June 17, 2024 · 9:02 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“When former Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon goes to prison, he won’t be serving time at what’s known as a ‘Club Fed,’ the most comfortable type of facility in the federal system, as he had wanted,“ CNN reports.

“Instead of a minimum-security prison camp, where many nonviolent offenders serve their time, Bannon – now a right-wing podcaster with a following of loyal Trump supporters – is set to report next month to the low-security federal prison in Danbury, Connecticut.”

“Bannon isn’t eligible for the lowest-level prison setup because he still has a pending criminal case against him in New York, where he is fighting the charges and set to go to trial in September.”
