Trump ally Steve Bannon blasts 'lawfare' as he faces New York trial after federal prison stint
After spending four months in federal prison for snubbing a congressional subpoena, conservative strategist Steve Bannon is now preparing for a financial conspiracy trial
NEW YORK (AP) — After spending four months in federal prison for snubbing a congressional subpoena, conservative strategist Steve Bannon had a message Tuesday for prosecutors in cases against him and President-elect Donald Trump.
“You wait. The hunted are about to become the hunters,” Bannon said outside a New York court where he's now facing a state conspiracy trial as soon as next month.
He stepped into a waiting car without elaborating on what “the hunters” intend to do.
The longtime Trump ally's latest trial is set to start Dec. 9 — but could be postponed after a hearing Monday — at the same Manhattan courthouse where the past-and-next president was convicted in his hush money case. Separately, a judge Tuesday delayed a key ruling in the hush money case for at least a week as prosecutors ponder how to proceed in light of Trump's impending presidency.
