How a Bannon lawyer with civil rights creds became a Trump world go-to
CNN
David Schoen has stepped forward to represent conservative firebrand Steve Bannon in his contempt of Congress case after two previous stints defending self-proclaimed "dirty trickster" Roger Stone, and even former President Donald Trump. But Schoen insists politics is not playing into his decision.
Instead, Schoen says his three-decade-long career as a civil rights attorney made it a no-brainer.
"I subscribe to the words of the great lawyer Charles Hamilton Houston," Schoen told CNN, "to the effect that a lawyer is either a social engineer or a parasite on society. I have wanted to try to make a change to help others who need help."
