Steve Bannon is “not required to respond” to a subpoena from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol because former President Donald Trump says their communications are protected by executive privilege, his lawyer claimed in a letter Wednesday.
Trump’s lawyer told Bannon that the ex-president “is exercising his executive privilege” and instructed him “not to produce documents or testify until the issue of executive privilege is resolved,” lawyer Robert Costello wrote.
“That is is an issue between the Committee and President Trump’s counsel and Mr. Bannon is not required to respond at this time,” Costello wrote in the letter, posted on Twitter by an ABC News producer.

Let’s see if Pelosi and gang forcibly have Bannon arrested (no-knock entry, etc.). They probably figure the American public would just shrug if it happened, and I suspect they would be right.
They are claiming that Brandon waived Trump’s executive privilege, so he’s on the hook. So... the privilege is manifest in the office, not the man. Funny it didn’t work that way when Trump was President.
Pencil Neck can shove his supeona ..
Bannon is the real deal and will go down with the ship… But not so Patel and Meadows, as I’m led to understand, they are in the process of flipping big time. We’ll just have to see
Tie it up in the courts for 18 months and it’s all over.
I don’t remember a D ever responding to a subpoena.
Sorry, do you mean Bannon? The name Brandon does not appear in the article. If you mean Bannon then it does not seem that he can wave Trump’s privilege.
Let’s go Brandon!
Rats are just throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks. IMO
I saw early this morning on the scrolling ticker on NewsMax, I believe it was, that Biden declined Trump’s request for executive privilege???? Did anyone else see this?
Biden is Brandon.
Ok I get it now.
Stick-it, Brandon!
They’re ALL Brandon!
Very, very dangerous ground.
Bannon had better be able to trust his lawyer.
Tell them to go fly a lead kite.
Flipping what? If there’s nothing to flip...this is just the usual annoyance by the Dems.
No, they mean Biden—Let’s Go Brandon!, aka Biden.
I saw it 2-3 days ago, but haven’t heard anything more since.
“But not so Patel and Meadows, as I’m led to understand, they are in the process of flipping big time.”
What!? Do tell.
