Steve Bannon Warns of Imprisonment Risk for Trump if Democrats Win 2028
Bannon predicts Trump could face prison following his second term, highlighting legal and political tensions shaping the U.S. landscape.
- Steve Bannon stated that Donald Trump is likely to go to prison if a Democrat wins the 2028 presidential election, citing parallels to Jair Bolsonaro's legal troubles in Brazil.
- Trump’s prior legal challenges include convictions on 34 counts of falsifying business records and inactive cases in Georgia, with federal cases dropped due to DOJ policy shielding sitting presidents.
- Bannon accused Democrats of engaging in 'political warfare' and warned they may pursue a third impeachment if they regain control of the House in 2026.
- Following his 2024 victory, Trump pardoned most individuals convicted for their roles in the January 6 Capitol riot, a move criticized by opponents.
