BREAKING: Steve Bannon was found guilty on charges of contempt of Congress related to his refusal to comply with a subpoena from the Jan. 6 committee.
During closing arguments on Friday morning, Bannon attorney Evan Corcoran tried to argue the case was political and that his client didn’t intentionally refuse to comply with the subpoena, while the Justice Department attorney Molly Gaston laid out the simple gist of the prosecution’s argument. “The case is not complicated, but it is important,” she said. “The defendant chose allegiance to Donald Trump over compliance with the law.
White House call logs indicate that Trump and Bannon spoke at least twice on Jan. 5, including once before Bannon’s live broadcast. Bannon also reportedly spoke to Trump on Jan. 6.telling Bannon that if “an agreement on a time and place for your testimony, I will waive Executive Privilege for you, which allows you to go in and testify truthfully and fairly.”
Clark reportedly told the FBI “that the former president never invoked executive privilege over any particular information or materials,” and “that [Bannon’s] attorney misrepresented to the Committee what the former President’s counsel had told” him.
