Steve Bannon Seeks Early Prison Release Amid Ongoing Appeals

The former Trump aide's lawyers argue for bail or sentence reduction as he challenges his contempt of Congress conviction.

Bannon started his four-month sentence in July for defying a congressional subpoena related to the January 6 investigation.
His attorneys request bail pending appeals, citing potential review by the full DC Circuit or Supreme Court.
Previous attempts to stay out of prison have been denied by both the trial judge and the Supreme Court.
If not granted bail, Bannon's lawyers seek a reduction to supervised release to utilize First Step Act credits.
Bannon's scheduled release date is October 29, one week before Election Day.
