NEW YORK — Trump adviser Steve Bannon appeared in a Manhattan courtroom Thursday, where a judge questioned whether he’d been stonewalling his lawyers to delay his criminal fraud case.
The rabble-rousing right-wing strategist — who Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charged with money laundering in September in the We Build the Wall scam — hasn’t communicated with his attorneys in weeks.
At a fiery hearing in Manhattan Supreme Court, lawyer David Schoen told Justice Juan Merchan the “direct breakdown in communications” was because of differing opinions between Bannon and his attorneys about how they should approach his case, prepare it, and what defense theories they should pursue.
