Trump advisor and collar hoarder Steve Bannon’s appeal of his contempt of Congress conviction has been put on hold until November 9th due to the death of the son of one of the prosecution’s attorneys. Opening arguments had been scheduled to start October 12th.
“Due to the unexpected death of the son of appellee’s counsel, the United States respectfully requests this Court to reschedule this argument for a time on or after November 6, 2023,” the motion notes. “Counsel for appellant, David Schoen, Esq., [Bannon’s lawyer] has kindly consented to this motion.”
