Steve Bannon: Supreme Court rejects former Trump adviser’s bid to avoid prison time and report to prison by July 1

The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday rejected a request by former Trump adviser Steve Bannon to avoid prison time while continuing his appeal of his conviction for contempt of Congress.

Earlier this month, District Judge Carl Nichols ordered Bannon to report to prison by July 1 to begin serving a four-month sentence.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday rejected former Trump adviser Steve Bannon’s request to remain out of prison while he continues to appeal his contempt of Congress ruling.

Earlier this month, District Judge Carl Nichols ordered Bannon to report to prison by July 1 to begin serving his four-month sentence.

After Bannon was convicted, Nichols agreed to a suspended prison sentence while Bannon appealed the verdict.

He ordered Bannon to report to prison after the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Bannon’s conviction last month.

Last Friday, Bannon filed a motion for an emergency appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court in an attempt to avoid a prison sentence.

The Supreme Court did not provide any breakdown of votes in its decision to deny his request.
