#MichaelCohen testifies about being in London when the #AccessHollywood tape came out shortly before the #election. He says he got an email from #SteveBannon, who was the CEO of the #Trump campaign at the time.
Prosecution displays an email exchange about the tape that was forwarded to him by Bannon. Top campaign ofcls including the press sec #HopeHicks, the campaign manager #KellyanneConway & the deputy campaign manager #DavidBossie were also on the email.
The decision by the court means that #SteveBannon could soon become the second former #Trump aide to be jailed for ignoring a subpoena from the #Jan6 committee, #PeterNavarrowas the first. #Bannon is facing a 4-month term in #prison.
"Steve Bannon is reiterating threats to weaponize the U.S. justice system against perceived MAGA enemies if Donald Trump is re-elected. 'The criminals and traitors around Biden, you should be very worried,' Bannon said Thursday on his 'War Room' podcast, explicitly naming Hillary Clinton and Christopher Wray."
"'You're a target, you are corrupt, you are a traitor to this country, the people around you, the Clinton Foundation, the crimes you had, the sexual predator husband of yours,' Bannon ranted at one point. And yet, Bannon's disturbing tirade has, thus far, elicited almost no coverage from the press. Which left me wondering: How would newsrooms react if Biden's top allies were making such overt threats to jail political opponents?"
