Former Trump official Steve Bannon’s bid to avoid prison has been denied by the Supreme Court, with the high court ruling that he must report to federal prison next week. Bannon, who was convicted of two counts of contempt of Congress for his refusal to cooperate with the investigation into the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, was sentenced to four months behind bars.
The Supreme Court’s decision comes after Bannon’s last-ditch effort to avoid prison was denied, with the court issuing a brief order stating that his application for release pending appeal had been denied. The ruling was made with no dissents noted.
Bannon, 70, now faces a July 1 deadline to report to prison and serve his sentence. The denial by the Supreme Court marks the end of a lengthy legal battle for Bannon, who has been fighting the contempt charges for nearly two years.
