Steve Bannon's lawyers are expected Thursday to begin their defense of the former adviser to then-President Donald Trump as Bannon's contempt of Congress trial enters a new phase.
Bannon was in an unofficial capacity to Trump at the time of the insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021 and is charged with defying a congressional subpoena from the House committee investigating the aftermath of the 2020 election and the events leading up to the riot.
