Steve Bannon, a former presidential aide to Donald Trump, is facing two misdemeanor counts of contempt of Congress after he declined to provide testimony or documents to the House of Representatives committee. | Reuters
The committee also played a clip of Bannon saying “all hell is going to break loose tomorrow” on a right-wing talk show that day. He made those comments after his first call with Trump, the committee said.After Bannon was first charged in the case, he claimed he was unable to comply with the committee’s request because the materials were covered by a legal doctrine known as executive privilege that keeps presidential communications confidential.
Nichols has ruled that Bannon cannot use executive privilege as a defense in his case, and he also cannot claim he relied on his attorney’s advice when he declined to testify or provide records. Trump told Bannon earlier this month he was waiving any executive privilege claim, and Bannon has since offered to testify before the committee.
Last week, Nichols left open the possibility that Bannon could potentially present evidence of his recent offer to cooperate with the panel to the jury as a defense.
