Steve Bannon, a conservative podcast host and former strategist for Donald Trump, asked the Supreme Court on Friday to pause his prison sentence while he appeals his conviction for contempt of Congress.

A federal appeals court on Thursday night rejected his bid to delay the start of his sentence. Bannon’s longshot request comes months after another former Trump adviser, Peter Navarro, failed to receive a similar break from the conservative high court. A federal judge ruled recently that Bannon must turn himself in by July 1 to begin serving a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress as he appeals his case.

Bannon was convicted by a federal jury two years ago in Washington, DC, for not complying with a subpoena for an interview and documents in the US House’s January 6, 2021, investigation. He has remained a staunch Trump ally and is a vocal supporter of his presidential reelection bid.
