ABC News’ Jonathan Karl interviews former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon on “This Week.”
Steve Bannon is a prominent American political figure, media executive, and former advisor to President Donald Trump. Born on November 27, 1953, in Norfolk, Virginia, he has had a diverse career, including serving in the U.S. Navy, working as an investment banker, and producing films.
Bannon gained significant attention as the executive chairman of Breitbart News, a far-right media organization known for its provocative style and promotion of nationalist policies. His influence grew during the 2016 Presidential election, where he played a key role in Trump’s campaign, particularly in strategy and messaging related to populism and anti-establishment sentiments.
After Trump’s election, Bannon served as Chief Strategist in the White House but left in August 2017 amid controversies and internal conflicts. He has continued to be an influential figure in right-wing politics, promoting conservative candidates and causes in various elections.
His activities have often sparked debate and criticism, especially regarding his views on immigration and his association with nationalist movements. Bannon has also faced legal challenges, including charges related to alleged fraud in a fundraising campaign for a border wall, although he was later pardoned by Trump.
Bannon remains a polarizing figure in American politics, representing a faction that emphasizes nationalism and challenges to the political establishment.
