NEW: Judge vows Bannon trial won't become 'political circus' after defense argued to jury that all evidence in case may be tainted by politics. No discussion in court of Bannon railing outside against #J6 committee & trial decisions. w/@kyledcheney politi.co/3PDbTJu
@kyledcheney Prosecution has finished questioning House #J6 counsel Kristin Amerling and cross-examination by Bannon's lawyers just began. Def atty Evan Corcoran begins by asking her to confirm this case doesn't involve any claim that Bannon took part in events of 1/6/21.
Corcoran just asked if committee used typewriters or computers to prepare subpoenas. Guess the answer? Then we had this riveting exchange: Q: Did you type in that date? A: I don’t recall, sir.
1st semi-interesting development in this questioning about what humans did related to the subpoena. Q: You filled out this proof of service before service was accepted, correct?
Amerling: That’s correct.
Amerling: That’s correct.
Now we're discussing whether Bannon's lawyer was given all the requisite attachments to the subpoena like the applicable rules
Potentially important ruling from Judge Nichols allowing jury to see recent letters between Bannon lawyer and panel about possible Bannon testimony.
