Bannon pushes for documents in court case to be released | TheHill - The Hill
Former Trump White House chief of staff Stephen Bannon is reportedly pushing for documents to be released in his court case on contempt-of-Congress charges, with lawyers indicating he wants to use them in his defense.Bannon has moved to oppose a standard protective order for discovery instated by a district court judge, which prohibits either side in his case of releasing documents publicly, The Washington Post reported Thursday.Attorneys representing the government in Bannon's district court case have said there are “less than 20 documents” that need to be provided, but Bannon's legal team has argued there are more that it would need to locate, the Post reported.“Not just Trump people and not just conservatives — every progressive, every liberal in this country that likes freedom of speech and liberty should be fighting for this case.
