How Steve Bannon Is Trying to Dodge Prison

Steve Bannon “is advancing a high-stakes – and arcane-sounding – defense as he battles the Justice Department in a case that could mean up to a year in federal prison and thousands of dollars in fines if convicted – but potentially defang congressional power should he prevail,” The Guardian reports.

“The all-or-nothing nature of the defense is characteristic of Bannon, a fierce defender and confidante of the former president even after he departed the White House seven months into the Trump administration after a turbulent tenure as his chief strategist.”
