Bannon’s lawyers ask to quit wall case, citing ‘differences’
NEW YORK (AP) — Steve Bannon’s lawyers want out of his border-wall fraud case and have told a judge he is unwilling to speak with them directly. They said Thursday that they have irreconcilable differences about how to proceed. Bannon is a conservative rabble-rouser and longtime ally of former President Donald Trump. His current lawyers are David Schoen and John Mitchell. The judge says they must stay on the case until a Feb. 28 hearing. That’s Bannon’s deadline to find new counsel. The 69-year-old Bannon has pleaded not guilty to duping donors who gave money to build a wall on the southern U.S. border.
