"Though he possesses exclusive footage of the final weeks of the life of the well-connected pedophile - who remains one of the most potent political topics on the planet - Bannon has kept his footage under wraps."
""We need to talk about kovel. Letter and black bag.""
""I don't want someone to say, 'You waive the privilege by disclosing that to a third party,' explained Bruce Green, a legal ethics professor at Fordham Law School. "So I make the accountant part of my team the way my paralegal is part of the team.""
Steve Bannon filmed roughly 15 hours of interviews with Jeffrey Epstein but has released fewer than thirty seconds. Emails and text messages obtained from Epstein's estate show Epstein and Bannon discussed forging a Kovel agreement to make Bannon part of Epstein's legal defense team. A Kovel agreement can extend attorney-client privilege to non-lawyers and could be used to protect the footage from public release. Attorneys typically use Kovel agreements to bring non-lawyers like forensic accountants or PR professionals into privileged work. Legal ethics experts note that making a non-lawyer part of the legal team helps avoid arguments that privilege was waived.
