Steve Bannon will go to trial July 18 on criminal charges that he defied a subpoena from the Jan. 6 committee
President Donald Trump’s former adviser Steve Bannon will go to trial July 18 on criminal charges that he defied a subpoena from the House committee exploring the causes of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and Donald Trump’s attempt to subvert the 2020 election, a judge ordered Tuesday.
However, Nichols also sounded skeptical about the prosecution’s motives for pressing for a trial by April. He called that approach “somewhat anomalous” with the deliberate pace of hundreds of criminal cases the Justice Department has brought against individuals accused of taking part in the Jan. 6 insurrection attempt.
“This was a radical move that they made,” Schoen said of the Justice Department’s decision to bring a criminal case against Bannon, rather than filing a civil suit. The prosecution argued Tuesday that the trial should move quickly because of the public’s right to a speedy trial — particularly in a case in which the defendant is charged with defying a congressional probe.
Bannon faces a maximum penalty of a year in prison on each count, although Schoen also noted that each charge includes a mandatory minimum of 30 days in jail if convicted. Schoen said that stance underscores the defense’s concerns that the grand jury members who indicted Bannon may not have been told about the legal advice that he could ignore the subpoena due to Trump’s privilege claims.
