NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. — French far-right leader Jordan Bardella on Friday canceled his planned remarks here at the Conservative Political Action Conference after Steve Bannon, the former adviser to President Donald Trump who is now a popular conservative podcast host, made a hand gesture that some said appeared to be a Nazi salute.
Through blunt conversations with staff and his popular podcast, Steve Bannon is trying to steer the early direction of the new Trump administration. Whether he’s having much impact inside the White House is a subject of debate.
Steve Bannon attacked Elon Musk in an interview with British outlet Unherd published Tuesday, criticizing Musk’s power and calling him “a parasitic illegal immigrant”—escalating the feud between one of President Donald Trump’s key advisers and his one-time campaign chief Bannon.
Bannon's lawyer told Law360 that his client will plead guilty in a case accusing him of conspiring to launder money and commit fraud.
