Steve Bannon BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Steve Bannon has been a very visible figure in conservative media and politics over the past few days. According to SCOTUSblog, Bannon is back before the Supreme Court in his criminal contempt case stemming from his refusal to comply with a subpoena from the House Jan 6 committee. The federal government is now preparing its response to his petition, due December 10, after the Court called for it in early December, signaling at least one justice wants to see the government’s arguments before deciding whether to take the case. Bannon is seeking to overturn his conviction and clarify what it means to “willfully” ignore a congressional subpoena, while also challenging the committee’s authority.
On the political circuit, Bannon is scheduled to appear at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest 2025 in Phoenix later this month, alongside figures like Donald Trump Jr. and Ben Shapiro, according to AZCentral. The event, set for December 18–21, is the group’s first major gathering since the assassination of its founder Charlie Kirk in September, and Bannon’s presence underscores his continued role in the MAGA ecosystem.
In media and commentary, Bannon has been vocal on foreign policy, telling The American Conservative that the U.S. must cut off all support to Ukraine—money, arms, and intelligence—to end the war, framing it as a necessary step to avoid a wider conflict. He’s also doubling down on his sharp turn against U.S. support for Israel, arguing that “America First” means opposing aid to both Ukraine and Israel, a stance he’s been promoting on his War Room podcast, as noted by Real America’s Voice and POLITICO.
On domestic issues, Bannon has reignited his criticism of the H-1B visa program, calling it a “scam from start to finish” and arguing it cannot be reformed, according to The Times of India. He’s also been tied to conspiracy-adjacent narratives, including promoting Li-Meng Yan’s lab-leak theory of the pandemic, which GV Wire reports he helped amplify to Trump advisers like Peter Navarro.
There’s also market speculation around him: Kalshi, a prediction market, is now trading on what Bannon will say at AmericaFest, reflecting his ongoing influence in right-wing political circles.
