Justice Department asks court to deny Steve Bannon prison delay

Bannon filed an emergency motion to avoid going to prison on July 1 after being convicted on contempt of Congress charges. In aon Monday, the DOJ contends that Bannon has failed to “justify what would be an extraordinary exception to the general rule of detention following conviction and an unsuccessful appeal.”

“Bannon also cannot reconcile his claim for special treatment with the bedrock principle of equal justice under the law. Even-handed application of the bail statute requires Bannon’s continued detention,” the filing said.
