Former Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon should have exercised his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination rather than defy a pair of subpoenas from the House Select Committee investigating last year’s Capitol riot, a member of Bannon’s legal team told The Post on Monday.
“I didn’t represent him at the time – this guy [Robert] Costello did,” said David Schoen, who joined Bannon’s legal team on the day he was indicted on charges of contempt of Congress this past November. “Probably, if I had a client in this position, I probably would advise him to take the Fifth.”
“I think with this committee, I would probably advise any client to invoke the Fifth because I don’t honestly believe it’s a quest for information,” Schoen later added. “I think they have a real agenda to try and punish people and I think they’re using it as a political campaign method, actually.”
