Trump, feeling the heat, changes strategy.

In a change of strategy Trump is now "waiving executive privilege" and allowing Steve Bannon to testify.

(Courts have all held Trump does not have executive privilege anymore as he is not the President, and that privilege belongs to Biden)

Is this about Bannon's upcoming trial or the heat the Committee is turning up on Trump?

I thought Bannon was held in contempt for not appearing after being subpoenaed. Whatever happened with that? And how many times do you think he'll plead the Fifth? (or drink it lol)

Mr. Bannon’s trial on two counts of criminal contempt of Congress is set for July 18. Each count carries a penalty of up to a year in jail and a $100,000 fine.

If he's like Flynn he'll take it if they ask him if he heard the question okay or would he like some water.

I suspect that he was hoping to have open testimony so he could rant and rave and showboat for the MAGATs how the committee is just a witch hunt and #TRE45ON did nothing wrong and neither did the 850+ morons charged with various crimes on Jan. 6. Since Bannon's not getting his wish, he'll deny knowing anything, take the Fifth, refuse to produce the requested documents, and otherwise obstruct, IMO.
