Former White House chief strategist and ex-Breitbart editor-in-chief Stephen Bannon on Friday said his arrest was a “political hit job” after pleading not guilty to fraud charges relating to fundraising for a private border wall initiative.
“I’m not going to back down. This is a political hit job,” Bannon said Friday on his “War Room” podcast, coming a day after he was arrested. “I’m in this for the long haul. I’m in this for the fight. I’m going to continue to fight,” added Bannon, who was released on bail Thursday after he entered a not guilty plea.
