Steve Bannon's defense seeks acquittal then rests case

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump ally Steve Bannon declined to testify and his lawyers did not call any witnesses in his contempt of Congress trial on Thursday, instead arguing the judge should just acquit him, saying prosecutors hadn’t proven their case.

 

The decision to forego calling any witnesses in Bannon's defense cleared the way for closing arguments to begin Friday. The judge didn’t immediately rule on the motion for an acquittal and the case is likely to end up in the jury's hands by midday Friday.

DailyBeast headline so apt. Steve Bannon promised "HELL"at trial, but Punked Out instead. Talked a big game outside the courtroon but inside the only words he uttered were "Yes, your honor". Just waiting for another Trump's loud mouth Peter Navarro to cry like a baby in his contempt of Congress case.

The jury has convicted Bannon:

He was convicted. And will appeal and states he will prevail.
