February 14, 2026; 8am: This week, the DOJ came to the defense of President Trump’s former strategist Steve Bannon, seeking to undo his conviction for defying a subpoena regarding the January 6th insurrection. Plus, U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro’s federal prosecutors failed to secure indictments on charges of seditious conspiracy against the six Democratic lawmakers who released a video last year urging troops to refuse illegal orders. Former Federal Prosecutors Brendan Ballou and Paul Butler join “The Weekend” to discuss the hyper-political Department of Justice.
