DoJ accuses Steve Bannon of 'misleading and frivolous' attempts to turn his prosecution for refusing to testify before January 6 committee into a 'public spectacle'
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - Steve Bannon on November 17 pleaded not guilty to criminal charges filed after he defied a subpoena issued by a congressional panel
- Bannon, the first person to face charges in connection with the House probe, handed himself in to the FBI on Monday after last week being indicted
- He claims communications with the former president are covered by 'executive privilege' and that the investigation is politically motivated
- Prosecutors for the DoJ accused Bannon's defense team - led by Evan Corcoran - of stalling their efforts to reach an evidence-sharing agreement
- Instead, according to the Justice Department, Bannon's lawyers used a public court filing to complain about the case
