Steve Bannon Seeks to Delay Prison Sentence Amid Appeals

The former Trump adviser aims to avoid a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress as he pursues further legal challenges.

Bannon has filed an emergency motion to stay out of prison while appealing his conviction.
He argues that his imprisonment would hinder his role as a political commentator and campaign strategist.
A federal judge has ordered him to report to prison by July 1, but Bannon seeks a ruling by June 18.
Republican allies are exploring strategies to support Bannon's legal efforts.
Bannon's conviction stems from defying a subpoena from the January 6 committee investigating the Capitol riot.
