   Even as disgraced President Trump wades through a complex web of legal woes   
   to avoid prison, some of his allies and associates are already facing that   
   fate.   
      
   The big picture: A striking number of people closely associated with the   
   former president have been sentenced to prison for an array of crimes that   
   include contempt of Congress and campaign finance violations.   
      
   The latest: Steve Bannon, an ex-Trump White House adviser, reported to   
   prison Monday to begin serving his four-month sentence.   
      
       Bannon was sentenced in 2022, but the judge had delayed his punishment   
   date while he appealed.   
       The Supreme Court rejected Bannon's emergency appeal last week, after a   
   federal judge last month ordered Bannon to begin serving his sentence.   
      
   Between the lines: The specter of prison has helped spur some Trump allies   
   to flip on the former president and cooperate with prosecutors.   
      
       Former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell — one of Trump's co-   
   defendants in the sprawling Georgia election subversion case — took a plea   
   deal to testify against co-defendants that helped her avoid prison.   
       Former Trump campaign attorney Kenneth Chesebro — another co-defendant   
   in the Georgia case — also took a plea deal agreeing to testify at co-   
   defendants' trials.   
       A third co-defendant in the Georgia case, Scott Hall, also accepted a   
   plea deal agreeing to testify against others.   
      
   Sentenced to prison:   
   Steve Bannon   
      
   Bannon was sentenced to four months in prison in 2022 for contempt of   
   Congress after defying a subpoena from the Jan. 6 select committee.   
   Peter Navarro   
      
   The former Trump advisor was sentenced to four months in prison in January   
   after being convicted of contempt of Congress for likewise defying a   
   subpoena from the Jan. 6 select committee. He reported to prison in March   
   after the Supreme Court rejected his bid to remain free pending his appeal.   
   Michael Cohen   
      
   Trump's onetime personal lawyer, Cohen was sentenced to three years in   
   prison in 2018 after pleading guilty to an array of crimes, including   
   violating campaign finance laws and lying to Congress in the Mueller   
   investigation. He was released in 2021.   
   Paul Manafort   
      
   Trump's former campaign chairman was sentenced to 7.5 years in prison for   
   bank and tax fraud crimes and those related to his work as a political   
   consultant in Ukraine. He spent just under two years in prison before   
   ultimately being pardoned by Trump in Dec. 2020   
   George Papadopoulos   
      
   The former Trump campaign advisor was sentenced to 14 days in prison in   
   2018 for lying to investigators about Russian contacts. He ultimately   
   served 12 days in prison and also received a Trump pardon in Dec. 2020.   
   Roger Stone   
      
   The longtime Trump associate was sentenced to more than three years in   
   prison in 2020 for crimes that included obstruction of justice, lying to   
   Congress and witness tampering. Trump commuted Stone's sentence in July   
   2020 and later pardoned him.   
   Rick Gates   
      
   The deputy chairman of Trump's 2016 campaign, Gates pleaded guilty in 2018   
   to conspiracy and lying to the FBI. He was later sentenced to 45 days in   
   prison.   
   Allen Weisselberg   
      
   Former Trump Organization CFO Allen Weisselberg received a five-month   
   prison sentence on April 10 after previously pleading guilty to two counts   
   of perjury. The charges stemmed from Weisselberg giving false testimony   
   during Trump's civil fraud trial.   
      
       It was the second prison sentence Weisselberg has received, as he was   
   given another five-month sentence last year for his role in helping run a   
   years-long tax fraud scheme at Trump's business.
