Bannon and his compatriot Peter Navarro had hardly been secretive about their plan, which they dubbed the Green Bay Sweep, but both men loudly defied the summonses, refusing even to show up and plead the Fifth or assert executive privilege.
Navarro comes close, though, with his claim to privilege over topics addressed in detail in his own book.
Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointee, refused to allow Bannon to argue any of these to the jury, citing the DC Circuit's 1961 ruling in Licavoli v. US.
