Read: DOJ urges Supreme Court not to delay Steve Bannon's prison sentence

• Bannon is scheduled to report to prison by July to serve a four-month sentence for defying a congressional subpoena related to the Jan. 6 attack.

Driving the news: Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar wrote that Bannon "responded to the subpoena with total noncompliance: he did not produce any documents and refused to appear for his scheduled deposition."

The big picture: The Trump-aligned America First Legal filed an amicus brief to the Supreme Court with Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.) on Wednesday in support of Bannon.

• Prelogar noted in the filing that the court "recently denied a similar application for release by another defendant who engaged in complete defiance of a subpoena issued by the same committee that subpoenaed applicant" — in reference to former Trump adviser Peter Navarro.
• Navarro reported to prison in March to serve a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress.
