CNN reports that Steve Bannon has been denied his request to serve his four-month prison sentence at o-called Club Fed, and could end up in Rikers when his trial in New York for his build the wall scam takes place in September. As we discussed here, Bannon was making lots of threats over the weekend at the TP USA conference. Maybe this explains why he appeared to be in a particularly foul mood.

Here's more from CNN's Erin Burnett and reporter Katelyn Polantz who broke the story for the network:

BURNETT: Breaking news, Steve Bannon denied his request for the so-called Club Fed when he's forced to report to prison. Sources telling CNN that the longtime Trump ally will not get a cushy prison assignment, but is likely to serve time in a Connecticut prison where he could be placed with violent criminals and sex offenders, a prison that does not have individual cells, but rather an open pod layout for inmates.

And CNN is learning tonight that there is also a chance Bannon could be sent to New York City's infamous Rikers Island. Let's go straight to Katelyn Polantz. She broke this story. And Katelyn, I mean, this is a significant development, not at all what Bannon was hoping for or frankly seemed to be expecting.

POLANTZ: No, not at all, Bannon. No, Erin, not at all what Steve Bannon was wanting here. He had expected and his lawyers had expected that he's nonviolent. He had not had any prior convictions. And so maybe he would go to a prison camp, very minimal security in the federal system.

That's not what's happening. He's being told now by the Bureau of Prisons that he will be going to a low-security prison. So he's behind The Wall is what they call it. It's different than a camp. It has more confines for the inmates that are kept there.

Also, violent offenders can be kept in a low-security prison like the one Bannon is going to be reporting to in just a couple of weeks in Danbury, Connecticut. But Erin, the reason is because all of this is complicated by a case Steve Bannon is facing in New York, where he's going to trial on this accusation of defrauding donors to a foundation he was on top of.

That is not just complicating things with this. It also means that if he's behind bars in the federal prison, whenever that case goes to trial in September, that's when he may have to be in Rikers to attend that trial.

I wouldn't call Bannon nonviolent given the fact that the man obviously has no problem whatsoever inciting others to violence. Sounds like he's landing right where he belongs.
