Bannon Appeals to Supreme Court to Delay Prison Sentence

TL;DR Summary
Steve Bannon, a close ally of former President Donald Trump, has requested the Supreme Court to delay his four-month prison sentence for defying a subpoena from the House committee investigating the January 6 Capitol attack. This comes after a federal appeals court rejected his bid to avoid reporting to prison by July 1. Bannon argues that his case raises significant constitutional issues and that he was negotiating with the committee when charged. The Supreme Court has asked the Justice Department to respond by Wednesday, just before its summer recess.
