Steve Bannon Pleads with Supreme Court to Delay Prison Sentence
TL;DR
Steve Bannon, a close ally of former President Donald Trump, has requested the US Supreme Court to delay his four-month prison sentence for contempt of Congress while he appeals his conviction. This comes after a federal appeals court denied his appeal. Bannon, who defied a subpoena from the congressional committee investigating the January 6 riot, must report to prison by July 1 unless the Supreme Court intervenes. Bannon has also made claims on his podcast about potential retribution against political opponents if Trump is re-elected.
