– The prosecution and defense made their statements in the criminal contempt case against top Trump adviser Steve Bannon Tuesday — blocks away from the Capitol, where the House Jan. 6 select committee is preparing for a primetime hearing Thursday focusing on former President Trump's allegedcriminal contempt of Congress
"This case is not about what happened on Jan. 6," Vaughn said."This case is about the defendant thumbing his nose at the orderly processes of our government." Corcoran contended negotiations between the committee and Bannon's other attorney, Robert Costello, were still underway at the time of the alleged default.
Bannon's attorney said at the time his client was merely following the direction of former President Trump's legal team to not provide documents or testify due to executive privilege, although several courts have said Trump is not entitled to claim executive privilege. Bannon was also not employed by the White House on Jan. 6, 2021. Bannon pleaded not guilty to both counts.
The group of 14 — two of whom will act as alternate jurors — was empaneled after prosecutors and Bannon struck a total of six individuals at their own choosing.
