Ahead of the hearings, Schoen told Newsweek: “No matter where anyone stands on Mr. Bannon, everyone should hope the conviction gets reversed on appeal. It is a very dangerous proposition to hold someone criminally culpable and send them to prison without a finding that he or she ever acted in any way that he or she believed was against the law or wrong. That is what happened here.”

The hearing is on Thursday.
