Federal prosecutors of former Trump White House strategist Steve Bannon have admitted obtaining email and phone records of private citizens who share the name of Bannon’s attorney, but insist it has no bearing on the case.
In a 10-page court filing Monday night, the DC US attorney’s office acknowledged that the government attempted to obtain logs of communications by Robert Costello, only to collect similar records from others by that name.
The prosecutors described their efforts as “appropriate investigative steps, in part relying on intelligence from law enforcement databases” to determine whether Costello communicated with Bannon about a subpoena from the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the US Capitol.
