Prosecutors immediately cast Bannon's new willingness to cooperate with the committee he had defied as a stunt to improve his chances at trial.
Steve Bannon's attorney David Schoen talks to reporters after a hearing on Bannon's trial on Monday, July 11 in Washington. A federal judge has declined to delay the upcoming trial of Bannon, an adviser to former President Donald Trump who faces contempt charges after refusing for months to cooperate with the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection.At the same July 11 hearing, Nichols also severely restricted Bannon's possible lines of defense.
The judge further ruled that Bannon could not offer alleged rule violations by the committee, as he has previously asserted. And he quashed Bannon’s efforts to subpoena House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, other House leaders and Jan. 6 committee members.
He's toast, at long last ...
