By Spencer S. Hsu, The Washington PostStephen K. Bannon talks to reporters after appearing in federal court on Nov. 15, 2021, in Washington, D.C.
Bannon had asked the justices for an emergency stay on June 21, after his D.C.-based trial judge and the judges who heard the appeal of his conviction rejected similar requests. Both courts said Bannon had little chance of success in arguing that he was relying on advice from an attorney and did not “willfully” break the law by ignoring the congressional subpoena.
Solicitor General Elizabeth B. Prelogar wrote that Bannon did not qualify for an “extraordinary” exception from the law, arguing to the Supreme Court, “He cannot make the demanding showing necessary to override the normal requirement that a convicted defendant begin serving his sentence.” To the contrary, although Trump suggested before Bannon’s trial that the latter was covered by executive privilege, an attorney for Trump at the time told Bannon’s lawyers the opposite.
