Steve Bannon plans public authority defense




Bannon, Trump's former adviser, is facing trial in July. He was indicted last November for refusing to comply with a subpoena from the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol. Documents filed in court on Friday suggest that Bannon's defense may argue that he is blameless because he was acting on Trump's authority while refusing the subpoena.


Casting Trump as the "government official" who issued "a grant of authority" for illegal activity, has also been used as a defense strategy by several of those accused of crimes related to storming the Capitol on January 6, 2021.


The defense has so far not been successful as a strategy for those involved in the riot. Dustin Thompson, one of several Capitol rioters who claimed Trump "ordered" them to the Capitol, was convicted Thursday of charges including felony obstruction of Congress and could face 20 years in prison.


Others who have pointed to Trump include Jacob Chansley, the so-called "QAnon Shaman" who was convicted of multiple charges and sentenced to 41 months in prison last November. Earlier this week, legal expert Neama Rahmani said blaming Trump was "really the only viable defense" for those accused in the Capitol attack.




Good luck with this Steve !
