The #DOJ brought the case against Bannon during Democrat Joe Biden’s presidency, but it changed course after #Trump took office again last year.
#SteveBannon had initially argued that his testimony was protected by Trump’s claim of #ExecutivePrivilege. But the #House panel & the DOJ contended such a claim was dubious because Trump had fired Bannon…in 2017 & he was thus a private citizen when consulting with Trump in the run-up to the #Jan6 #insurrection.
WTAF!?
#SteveBannon wins #SCOTUS order likely to lead to dismissal of his #criminal #conviction for refusing to #Congress.
“Prodded” [instructed] by the #Trump admin, the justices threw out an appellate ruling upholding Bannon’s conviction for defying a #subpoena from the #House committee that investigated the #Jan6, 2021 #insurrection by Trump supporters.
