(22 Jul 2022) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: 4389805 RESTRICTION SUMMARY: ASSOCIATED PRESS Washington DC - 22 July 2022 1. Cutaway of Steven Bannon walks out to press conference 2. SOUNDBITE (English) Steve Bannon, ally of former President Donald Trump: "I want to start by thanking the jury. We respect their decision today. I really want to thank those hardworking citizens of Washington, D.C. that had to take an entire week off to go through this. So they're thanks, we respect their decision. We may have lost a battle here today, but we're not going to lose this war. Okay? David Schoen's going to talk here in a second about exactly what for, what the jury heard. They came to their conclusion, right? About what was put on in the in that courtroom. David Schoen is going to talk about our appeals process. But listen, in the closing argument, the prosecutor missed one very important phrase, right? I stand with Trump and the Constitution and I will never back off that ever. (Reporter off camera: This didn't seem like the misdemeanor from hell, Mr. Bannon. What happened?) I thought it was pretty good hell. (David Schoen: This is round one.)" ++SEPARATED BY WHITE FLASH++ 3. SOUNDBITE (English) David Schoen, Bannon’s attorney: "This is a bulletproof appeal. Have you ever, in another case, seen a judge six times say in the case that he thinks the standard for willfulness is wrong? He said it doesn't comport with modern jurisprudence. He said it doesn't comport with the standard for the traditional definition. But he said he feels his hands were bound by the, by a 1961 decision. You will see this case reversed on appeal. You will see all of these resources, three federal prosecutors, four FBI agents for a misdemeanor, being wasted." ++SEPARATED BY WHITE FLASH++ 4. SOUNDBITE (English) David Schoen, Bannon’s attorney: "You cannot find another crime in which a misdemeanor or felony in which a person is convicted without believing or knowing or having reason to believe he or she did anything wrong. That's the standard that was applied in this case. The government said from the start the standard they were urging on the court was 'Was Bannon subpoenaed? And did Bannon show up?' Doesn't matter his reasons. They won the case maybe in closing today. They lost their appeal in closing today." ++SEPARATED BY WHITE FLASH++ 5. SOUNDBITE (English) Steve Bannon, ally of former President Donald Trump: "One disappointment and that is the gutless members of that show trial committee that J six (January 6) committee didn't have the guts to come down here and testify in open court." 6.
