Supreme Court Denies Bannon's Appeal, Prison Awaits

The U.S. Supreme Court has denied Steve Bannon's emergency appeal to avoid a four-month prison sentence for contempt of Congress. Bannon, a former Trump advisor, failed to comply with a subpoena from the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 Capitol attack. He argued that his actions were based on advice from his attorney regarding executive privilege, but this defense was not accepted by the courts. The D.C. Circuit upheld Bannon's conviction, and the Supreme Court's brief order offered no detailed commentary. Bannon must report to prison by July 1, marking the end of his legal efforts to delay incarceration.
