Steve Bannon’s border wall trial delayed until March 4 as new lawyers plot aggressive defense

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — Steve Bannon’s trial on charges that he duped donors who gave money to build a wall along the U.S. southern border will start a week later than scheduled, a judge said Wednesday, after the conservative rabble-rouser hired new lawyers to pursue an aggressive defense strategy. Bannon, a political strategist and longtime ally of President Donald Trump, had been scheduled to stand trial Feb. 25 in the “We Build the Wall” case in state court in New York. Bannon said he started shopping for new lawyers after he was “shocked” by Newbauer’s ruling in November that prosecutors could show jurors certain evidence, including an email they say shows Bannon was concerned the fundraising effort was “a scam.” Aidala, a prominent New York City defense lawyer, told the judge that Bannon approached him about representation in December and, after initially declining, said he agreed to do so when his schedule freed up. Aidala told Neubauer that Bannon’s new legal team is in the process of reviewing about 11 terabytes of case files that prosecutors have collected and turned over to them, which he said someone told him “would be like a U-Haul truck worth of material.” “We are going to roll up our sleeves and get ready to try this case,” the lawyer said.
