The Supreme Court on Friday denied Steve Bannon’s request to stay out of prison while the ally of former President Donald Trump appeals two convictions for contempt of Congress.
The Supreme Court’s brief order means Bannon will have to report to prison for his four-month sentence by Monday.
Bannon had argued that the justices would eventually overturn his convictions for ignoring a subpoena from the House select panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. He urged them to let him remain out of prison until they do so.
