WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 19: Former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon salutes while arriving at the U.S. District Courthouse for his trial for contempt of Congress, on July 19, 2022, in Washington, DC. Lawyers for longtime Trump adviser Steve Bannon unsuccessfully requested a one-month delay on the second day ofU.S. District Judge Carl Nichols quickly denied that motion, and the trial was to begin in earnest Tuesday afternoon.
An unofficial adviser to Trump at the time of the Capitol attack, Bannon is charged with defying a subpoena from the Jan. 6 committee that sought his records and testimony. He was indicted in November on two counts of criminal contempt of Congress, one month after the Justice Department received a congressional referral. Upon conviction, each count carries a minimum of 30 days of jail and as long as a year behind bars.
Capitol Police Officer Caroline Edwards testifies during Thursday’s hearing, speaking about the injuries and harassment she suffered during the attack on the U.S. Capitol, saying she was called "a lot of things on January 6." Bannon attorney David Schoen hinted at his planned defense when he told the judge that Bannon believed he was in the midst of an ongoing negotiation with the Jan. 6 committee and that he "believed the dates were malleable" while that negotiation continued.Attorneys for the government intend to argue there was no confusion on Bannon's part and that his failure to appear was a simple matter of defiance and disrespect for the congressional investigation.
