In a short order, the Supreme Court wrote, "The application for release pending appeal presented to The Chief Justice and by him referred to the Court is denied."
The Supreme Court’s order came after a federal appeals court in DC also rejected Bannon’s emergency request to remain out of prison as he goes through the appeals process. Bannon in 2022 was sentenced to four months in prison for defying subpoenas from the J6 Committee. Bannon’s sentence had been placed on hold pending appeal. Bannon argued that believed that President Donald Trump, who left office in January 2021, exerted executive privilege over their communications and therefore refused to provide requested documentation and correspondence to the committee.
A federal appeals court heard arguments on the matter in November, and in May upheld Bannon’s conviction.
After Bannon was indicted and prior to the beginning of the trial, Trump rescinded the executive privilege and Bannon agreed to provide the information requested, but the Department of Justice moved forward with the trial.
