LEGAL/TRUMP PEOPLE/STEVE BANNON: White House chief strategist Steve Bannon won’t face any criminal charges related to his mysterious voter registration in Miami-Dade County.
Prosecutors announced Thursday that they could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Bannon, President Donald Trump’s special assistant, broke the law when he signed up to vote in Miami-Dade County after leasing homes in Coconut Grove — even though he seemed to spend most of his time outside of Florida.
‘To *reside* at a location is a nebulous concept that depends on a person’s actions and their subjective state of mind,’ according to a final memo released by the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office. ‘The Florida case law interpreting (voter residency) is both sparse and antique.’
Investigators were looking at a narrow question: whether Bannon lied to the elections department about his residency when he twice filed to be a voter in Miami-Dade.”
