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.
