But a new court filing in the Bannon saga reveals something intriguing: a dispute between his and Trump’s legal teams that appears to be ramping up., federal prosecutors disclosed that they recently interviewed Trump lawyer Justin Clark.
that the Defendant’s attorney misrepresented to the Committee what the former President’s counsel had told the Defendant’s attorneythat the former President’s counsel made clear to the Defendant’s attorney that the letter provided no basis for total noncompliance in the first placeto Bannon’s lawyer, Robert J. Costello. And Costello is the “Defendant’s attorney” that the government claims misrepresented the Trump legal team’s position, also citing Clark’s interview as confirmation for that.
But notably, the letter didn’t lay out what, in fact, was allegedly privileged. And what followed was apparently multiple attempts by Costello to get Trump’s legal team to be more specific — attempts that were apparently made in vain. On Oct. 14, the deadline for Bannon’s testimony lapsed. And that evening, Clark emailed Costello seemingly“To be clear, in our conversation yesterday I simply reiterated the same instruction from my letter to you dated Oct. 6, 2021, and attached below,” Clark said.
