Steve Bannon Files Emergency Appeal to Delay Four-Month Sentence for Contempt of Congress
News summary

Steve Bannon has filed an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court to delay his four-month prison sentence for contempt of Congress, which was upheld by a federal appeals court. Bannon's legal team argues that he poses no flight risk or danger and that his imprisonment would impede his role in Trump's 2024 presidential campaign. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected his request, with Judges Cornelia Pillard and Bradley Garcia ruling against him and Judge Justin Walker dissenting. Bannon was convicted in 2022 for defying a subpoena from the House Jan. 6 committee investigating the Capitol riot. The Supreme Court has asked the government to respond by July 26, and Bannon is currently set to report to prison by July 1.
