WASHINGTON — Steve Bannon’s defense team made another attempt to end his criminal case for defying a Jan. 6 committee subpoena, urging a federal judge to acquit him because the evidence presented by prosecutors was too thin.
“The government has rested its case and they have not presented evidence upon which a reasonable person could find beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Bannon is guilty of the charges of contempt of Congress,” defense attorney Evan Corcoran said in a Washington courtroom Thursday.
Corcoran slammed the prosecution against the longtime adviser to former President Donald Trump as “really a one-witness case.” He said the defense won’t be calling witnesses or submitting evidence.
