Trump ally Steve Bannon has asked the Supreme Court to delay his prison sentence while he fights his convictions for defying a subpoena from the House committee that investigated the U.S. Capitol attack. The emergency application from Republican ex-President Donald Trump's longtime ally comes after a federal appeals court panel rejected his bid to avoid reporting to prison by July 1 to serve his four-month sentence. Bannon was convicted of two counts of contempt of Congress but is appealing the conviction. The high court has asked the Justice Department to respond to Bannon's request by Wednesday, The court previously refused to delay a similar prison sentence for another former Trump aide, Peter Navarro.
