Bannon Accuses Manhattan D.A. of Being Vindictive' in Fraud Case
Briefly

As Stephen K. Bannon's fraud trial approaches in Manhattan, he replicates strategies used by former President Trump. Bannon has delayed proceedings and publicly criticized the Manhattan district attorney's office, which he claims is engaged in political persecution. His legal team has filed motions to dismiss the case on grounds of vindictiveness and selective law enforcement. The motion points to prior legal actions against Trump as part of an ongoing narrative of targeting Republican figures. Bannon's tactics are reminiscent of Trump's efforts to claim victimhood in the face of legal challenges.
Mr. Bannon's team accused the Manhattan district attorney of political persecution and sought to dismiss the case, invoking the history of previous convictions against President Trump.
Bannon's strategy mirrors Trump's, as both have framed their legal challenges as politically motivated persecution by New York's legal authorities.
