Steve Bannon Begs Supreme Court to Spare Him From Jail
Steve Bannon made a long-shot attempt to avoid prison on Friday, asking the U.S. Supreme Court to pause his case as he fights his conviction for contempt of Congress on which he was sentenced to four months in jail.
“Applicant Mr. Bannon seeks the narrow relief of continued bail pending completion of his further appeals,” a court filing on behalf of the Trump ally and adviser and far-right activist said.
“Absent relief Mr. Bannon will be forced to serve his entire term before this Court has the opportunity to review that issue.”
