Former White House chief strategist and Trump ally Steve Bannon has filed a request with the Supreme Court to delay his prison sentence as he appeals his convictions for contempt of Congress. Bannon was found guilty of defying a congressional subpoena to testify before the House committee investigating the January 6th Capitol riot.
Bannon's legal team argues that he should not have to report to prison until his appeal is resolved, citing concerns about the potential harm to his constitutional rights if he were to serve his sentence before the appeal process is complete.
