Steve Bannon lacked 'factual defense' but has 'legal defense' for appeal, ex-prosecutor says
Fox News
Stephen Bannon, a former Breitbart executive and ex-Trump political strategist, was found guilty of contempt of Congress in a District of Columbia courtroom.
Charles Creitz is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
"This is one of those rare cases where the defendant really didn't have any factual evidentiary defense, but he's got a legal defense," he said, adding Judge Carl Nichols found the defense invalid because Bannon had been out of the White House for a while and was no longer on-staff under Trump.
Bannon, a former Breitbart executive who hosts the "War Room" program, became the first person since ex-FBI Agent G. Gordon Liddy to be prosecuted for contempt of Congress.
