Judge sets July 18 date for Trump former adviser Steve Bannon's trial on contempt of Congress charge
The schedule puts the high-profile case front-and-center as the 2022 midterm campaign is full swing, though Bannon was seeking to delay the trial even later -- proposing that it begin in mid-October."It seems to me you don't need 10 months to do this," Nichols said at a Tuesday status conference in the case, while concluding that that the Justice Department proposal for a mid-April trial would move things along too quickly. Nichols is blocking off two weeks for the trial.
Amanda Vaughn, a Justice Department attorney, said Tuesday that the release of that evidence and public commentary around it could inappropriately influence witness testimony at trial. "We do believe the committee's discussions about Mr. Bannon's subpoena...is the business of the public," David Schoen, an attorney for Bannon, said. Nichols sounded somewhat skeptical of Bannon's arguments, but also had pointed questions for the DOJ's position.
