SUMMARY
The Department of Justice has announced their opposition to Steve Bannon's bid to avoid prison while appealing his contempt conviction for defying a subpoena from the House Jan. 6th committee. Bannon, former adviser to President Trump, faces a four-month sentence for allegedly failing to comply with congressional demands. Federal prosecutors claim that Bannon's appeal does not meet the stringent criteria needed to delay incarceration, citing his complete noncompliance with legal orders. Meanwhile, House GOP leaders plan to file an amicus brief, asserting concerns over the committee's formation but not directly supporting Bannon's appeal.
