Longtime Donald Trump ally Steve Bannon will have to report to prison on Monday after his latest bid to avoid being locked up was rejected. Bannon had previously been convicted for defying a subpoena in the congressional investigation into the US Capitol insurrection on 6 January, 2021. He filed an emergency appeal after a judge ordered him to report to prison on 1 July for a four-month sentence. On Friday, this was rejected by the Supreme Court without explanation, as is typical.
A jury found Bannon guilty nearly two years ago of two counts of contempt of Congress: one for refusing to sit for a deposition with the 6 January House Committee and a second for refusing to provide documents related to his involvement in the Republican ex-president's efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss to Democrat Joe Biden.
