Summary
- Steve Bannon’s request to remain free while appealing his contempt of Congress conviction was denied by a panel of judges.
- The judges ruled that there was no compelling reason to keep Bannon out of jail during the appeal process.
- Bannon’s conviction was related to his defiance of a subpoena from the House Jan. 6 committee.
- The Supreme Court previously denied a similar request from another Trump adviser, Peter Navarro, who received a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress.
