Steve Bannon Tells Charlie Kirk 35 MAGA Allies Got Raided Day of Indictment

Steve Bannon, former adviser to ex-President Donald Trump, says the same day he was arraigned on criminal fraud charges, the FBI carried out raids on the homes of nearly three dozen allies of the former president.

Speaking to conservative talk show host Charlie Kirk Friday, Bannon made the explosive allegation, saying law enforcement is part of a broader conspiracy to hobble opponents of President Joe Biden. Bannon's remarks come a day after he pleaded not guilty in a New York court to fraud charges and amid efforts by conservative figures to cast the FBI as being politically weaponized.

Bannon told Kirk that the FBI "rolled in on" 35 "senior members of MAGA, Republican supporters of Donald Trump." Saying the alleged searches were unnecessary because their targets have lawyers, he called the FBI the "jackbooted Gestapo," a reference to the secret police of Nazi Germany.

"This is this globalist apparatus," Bannon said. "This is the American arm of that: the Biden regime."

A lot of federal grand jury (criminal) subpoenas went out today to Trump allies regarding the fake elector scheme and his fundraising.

Big news that suggests large, active investigations. This is likely what Bannon was talking about when he said 35 Trump allies were “raided.”
