“The application for release pending appeal presented to The Chief Justice and by him referred to the Court is denied,” the high court stated in a brief order, with no dissents noted.Bannon, 70, was convicted nearly two years ago of two counts of contempt of Congress over his refusal to sit for a deposition with the House panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol and for failing to provide documents to the Democrat-led select committee.
Bannon will be the second Trump White House aide to serve prison time in connection with defying a subpoena from the House Jan. 6 committee. , a former Trump trade adviser, began serving his four-month sentence in March after his petition to the Supreme Court was also rejected.
