Steve Bannon to report to prison Monday after Supreme Court declines to give him a reprieve

Steve Bannon recently got an extension from the appeals court allowing him to ask for the Supreme Court’s full bench to take up his appeal. | Alex Brandon/APThe Supreme Court on Friday rejected a last-ditch bid by the longtime Donald Trump ally to stave off a four-month sentence for defying subpoenas from the Jan. 6 select committee three years ago.

Bannon had sought an emergency order from Chief Justice John Roberts, who handles such requests if they originate in Washington, D.C. Roberts referred the request to the full court, which rejected it without any public dissents. The court’s decision came despite last-minute efforts by congressional Republicans — including Speaker Mike Johnson — to intervene on Bannon’s behalf. Johnson and other House GOP leaders agreed Tuesday to submit a legal brief supporting Bannon’s bid to overturn his criminal conviction. And Rep. Barry Loudermilk submitted his own brief to the Supreme Court on Wednesday afternoon.

The panel intended to query Bannon about his efforts, along with Navarro, to strategize with Republican members of Congress to challenge the election results on Jan. 6. They also wanted to ask him about comments he made on his “War Room” podcast the day before the riot, warning that “all hell was going to break loose” on Jan. 6.
