Steve Bannon BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Steve Bannon has been all over the front pages and inside the DC rumor mill in the past few days, mixing bombast, bombshells, and his signature flair for controversy. Just yesterday, Steve Bannon took to the airwaves calling for a complete purge of foreign students and H1B visa holders, insisting that they should be forced to leave the United States after graduation. According to the Times of India, Bannon argued that America is draining global talent like the former British Empire, and he made it clear on record that if he had his way, it would be green card out, exit visa in, with non-citizen graduates getting just 30 days to clear out.

Bannon was also busy pushing back against a widening fissure in the MAGA movement over Donald Trump’s cautious approach to possible US military involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict. According to an interview with Politico Playbook reported by AOL, Bannon described the base as “in a great place,” asserting that Trump is looking at every alternative before considering force, and warning Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu not to “hector” Trump or define America First for the movement. He doubled down at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast, blasting “hawkish Republicans,” Fox News, and Netanyahu for trying to push the US into war, pledging that MAGA would resist outside pressure.

Few names bubble up in right-wing media and politics like Bannon’s right now, especially as House Democrats heat up the pressure on him over the enduring Jeffrey Epstein saga. The Economic Times reports that Democrats are threatening to subpoena Bannon, who allegedly possesses 15 hours of unreleased Epstein footage from a shelved documentary project. Bannon has been relentless this week on his War Room podcast and in public, demanding the release of all Epstein files, at one point calling for a special prosecutor after Attorney General Pam Bondi’s office shut down further disclosures, as noted by AOL. He keeps insisting there is more to uncover, pushing a narrative of deep state cover-up that is stoking continued unrest among Trump’s base.

Meanwhile, Inside Story and multiple social media accounts have tracked Bannon’s efforts over the past weeks to rally Trump supporters, scorn Rupert Murdoch as a deep state ally and anticipate that aggressive attacks on Trump will only galvanize MAGA further. And in another attention-grabbing move, the Tampa Free Press ran with Bannon’s latest scorching attack on Elon Musk, whom he derided as “not American” in response to Musk’s rumored new political party.

On Instagram and elsewhere, hard MAGA operatives tell the world they are following Bannon’s exhortation to work for a Trump third term. Even amid the endlessly churning swirl of speculation about Epstein, internecine right-wing fights, and Bannon’s crusades against globalists and visa holders, the headline remains: Steve Bannon is, once again, at the white-hot center of the American political culture war, making news and making enemies everywhere he goes.
