Steve Bannon Appeals to Supreme Court After Losing Prison Delay Bid

TL;DR Summary
Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon has filed an emergency appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court to avoid serving a four-month prison sentence for contempt of Congress. Bannon's attorney argues that his imprisonment is politically motivated and unnecessary given the legal complexities of the case. Bannon was convicted for defying a subpoena from the House committee investigating the January 6 Capitol attack, and his appeal follows a federal court's decision to uphold the conviction.
