Judge awards Steve Bannon's former attorneys $480K after ex-Trump official refused to pay legal bill -
New York Supreme Court Judge Arlene Bluth, in her ruling, awarded the firm Davidff Hutcher & Citron a summary judgment of $480,487.87— the legal retainer that Mr. Bannon neglected to pay – and the legal fees tied to the lawsuit brought against him.
Mr. Bannon, 69, was represented by the firm’s partner Robert Costello during that period, who helped secure the former Trump administration official a presidential pardon in 2020. According to the law firm, Mr. Bannon paid out $375,000 out of the more than $850,000 billed by Davidoff Hutcher & Citron, LLC.
He also said that Mr. Costello would be a witness in a case against him, so he should not have to pay the firm.
