Steve Bannon asks court to deny request to shield records in his case
CBSN
Attorneys for former chief Trump strategist Steve Bannon are asking the court to deny the federal government's request to keep documents in his case largely private.
Bannon has pleaded not guilty to contempt of Congress charges after he was indicted by a federal grand jury for failing to comply with congressional summons in the House select committee's January 6 investigation.
In a November 24 filing with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Bannon's attorneys claim the government did not provide legal authority when it sought a protective order governing any discovery materials, and say the defense wouldn't be able to share "sensitive" documents produced during discovery with witnesses. Bannon's attorneys argue that prohibiting the sharing of documents would jeopardize Bannon's right to a fair trial under the Constitution.
