 The Department of Justice is encouraging the Supreme Court to reject Steve Bannon's appeal to avoid prison. The former senior advisor to Donald Trump, Bannon was found guilty on two counts of contempt of Congress in 2022 and sentenced to four months behind bars. Prosecutors believe the appeal doesn't suffice for the extraordinary standard needed to stay out of prison. The emergency filing from Bannon says that he should be free as his appeal moves forward. While he added that attempts from prosecutors to jail him are politically motivated.
