The judge handling the contempt of Congress case against Steve Bannon is considering a short delay in the trial's opening after the prosecution and defense tangled over evidence in the case
The main issue in contention Tuesday was whether the jury should see full or redacted versions of letters between the House panel and Trump lawyer Robert Costello laying out Bannon’s arguments against the subpoena and the committee’s rejection of those arguments. Some of those letters describe the committee’s full-throated rejection of Bannon’s claims of executive privilege.
Nichols said he was prepared to allow some mention of the privilege claim as an explanation for any confusion on Bannon’s part about the deadline, but the judge said he would order for now that the letters Bannon exchanged with the committee be redacted to delete the substance of the privilege arguments.
“I’m very concerned about redaction on the fly of documents and trying to keep track of how that affects the case,” Corcoran said. “The motion to continue is denied.....We have a jury that is just about picked. I think I was really clear in my decision last week. I don’t think I could have been clearer,” the judge said.
