Steve Bannon, a former Trump adviser, will have to report to prison by July 1 after the Supreme Court rejected his last-minute appeal of his sentence for defying House January 6 committee subpoenas.

The Supreme Court has rejected Steve Bannon’s application to remain free pending appeal of his contempt of Congress conviction. The Donald Trump ally argued that the justices should let him avoid his July 1 date to report to prison, despite the court’s rejection of a similar bid by former Trump adviser Peter Navarro. Both Bannon and Navarro were convicted after they refused to comply with a subpoena from the House Jan. 6 committee.

In Navarro’s case, Roberts had written an opinion explaining why he was rejecting the application, which led Bannon to argue that a distinction between his case and Navarro’s warranted emergency relief. But the court’s unexplained order Friday indicated no interest from any of the justices in keeping Bannon out of prison while he appeals. The court could still take up his underlying pending appeal eventually, though it likely won’t be before he serves his four-month term.
