Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon filed an emergency application to the Supreme Court requesting that his prison sentence be delayed as he appeals his contempt of Congress conviction.

Bannon is scheduled to report to prison by July 1 for a four-month sentence after being found guilty of contempt of Congress for defying a subpoena from the now-defunct House Jan. 6 Committee. His lawyers filed the application to the Supreme Court after a federal appellate court ruled 2-1 against an emergency appeal Thursday.

“Mr. Bannon respectfully requests that his application be granted and that he remain on release pending the conclusion of his appeals, including a petition for a writ of certiorari, if timely sought,” the application filed Friday said. “If necessary, Mr. Bannon respectfully requests that the court issue an administrative stay of the July 1 surrender date to allow for sufficient time to consider this matter.”

The Supreme Court has requested that the Department of Justice, which has opposed Bannon’s previous attempts to delay his prison sentence, file its response to Bannon’s latest application by 4 p.m. EDT Wednesday.

Former Trump adviser Peter Navarro was also convicted of contempt of Congress charges after defying subpoenas from the Jan. 6 committee, but Navarro reported to prison for his four-month sentence in March.

Bannon has continued to fight going to prison, but his efforts have been unsuccessful so far. The Supreme Court is Bannon’s last venue for his bid to not have to report to federal prison on July 1.

If the court declines Bannon’s request, he will serve his sentence in a low-security prison in Danbury, Connecticut.
