Lawyers representing Steve Bannon believe they may have found a way to blow up the government's case against the former Trump advisor – and now say the government breached attorney-client privilege by subpoenaing phone and email records for Bannon's lawyer, Robert Costello, amid their probe.
The lawyers say in an explosive new filing they learned of the efforts to get Costello's phone and email records when the government produced 790 documents as part of the case against Bannon, part of the normal document production in a criminal case.
The snooping, in the form of a grand jury subpoena, happened at a time when Costello was meeting with prosecutors 'as Mr. Bannon's attorney, in what he thought were good-faith pre-indictment discussions' – and without indication of any 'taint team' to vet sensitive information.
