    It’s for defying a subpoena, not contempt of congress.

    He also verbally threatened multiple people in Congress, dared them to arrest him, and threatened the judge who ordered him to jail while on air just a few weeks ago from what I remember. He’s still trying to appeal his initial conviction, but the judge said he needs to start serving for defying the subpoena now.

      Oh yeah. I was thinking contempt of Congress was the penalty for defying a subpoena.

      I must’ve tuned that part out, but it does sound like something that POS would do.
