Former Trump strategist Steve Bannon promised that his MAGA media empire would keep broadcasting even as he prepared to report to prison for a four-month sentence on Monday.

He sent a message to DailyMail.com on Friday, soon after the Supreme Court rejected his attempt to delay his sentence for defying a subpoena in the January 6 congressional investigation.

'I'm a political prisoner. And I won't be the last until we rid ourselves of the Biden regime's lawfare,' he said.

'The rancid nature of this regime was on display for the world to see in all its glory last night. 

'Try as they might they cannot shut down WarRoom. We will be victorious in November.'

Bannon filed an emergency appeal last week after he was ordered to report to prison on July 1.

He was convicted two years ago of two counts of contempt of Congress: one for refusing to give a deposition to the Jan. 6 House Committee and a second for refusing to hand over documents related to attempts to overturn the 2020 election loss to Joe Biden. 

He argued that he was protected by executive privilege and was allowed to remain free while he appealed. 

But he ran out of options Friday when the Supreme Court rejected his final appeal to stay free as he worked his legal options.

'The application for release pending appeal presented to the chief justice and by him referred to the court is denied,' it said in a one-line order. 

Bannon is the second of Trump's senior White House officials to face prison for refusing a congressional subpoena.
