Steve Bannon has claimed that he knew from time in Connecticut federal prison that Donald Trump would win the election. In an interview with The Times of London, Bannon, who served four months behind bars for failing to comply with a subpoena related to the Jan. 6 congressional committee, said that his fellow inmates' lack of enthusiasm about Democratic candidate Kamala Harris indicated to him that there would be a Trump victory. “Number one, they think he’s gangster. Number two, they just admire him as a gladiator,” the former Trump aide said of the other inmates. Bannon, 70, was released from Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, Conn. on Oct. 29, just one week before the 2024 election.
