Steve Bannon S Trial Now Has A Jury. Here S What We Know About Them.

Before the adjournment, Judge Carl Nichols appeared prepared to rule that the October 2021 communications between the committee and Steve Bannon could be admitted at trial, but only if the portions of the letters discussing privilege were redacted. “Those parts of the letters that discuss benefits are not clearly relevant to me at this time,” Nichols said, noting that Mr. Bannon has not indicated an intention to argue that the return dates were fluid because there were ongoing discussions about privilege. “The government should redact from the letters it plans to present to its witnesses today any discussion of privilege altogether,” Nichols said. He went on to outline the specific portions of the letters that would need to be drafted, with District Attorney Amanda Vaughn also reviewing. on flight”. Bannon’s team suggested they had not yet settled on what they would suggest about why Bannon thought the subpoenas’ return dates were flexible. What happens next: Judge Nichols wants Bannon’s team to tell him by 1 p.m. ET what Bannon would argue at this point and whether Bannon could argue that discussions of executive privilege were one of the reasons he believed the subpoena deadlines were still flowing. If Bannon were to make that argument, Nichols said, the October letters would likely be admissible in their entirety.
