Steve Bannon Calls Indictment 'Political Hit Job'

Bannon was accused of lining his own wallet with donations meant to fund a private border wall, according to an indictment.

"I am not going to back down. This is a political hit job. Everybody knows I love a fight,” Bannon said on an episode of his show “War Room.” “I was called 'honey badger' for many years. You know, 'Honey badger doesn't give.' So, I'm in this for the long haul. I'm in this for the fight."

Shortly after a federal grand jury in New York indicted Bannon on charges of money laundering and wire fraud on Thursday, President Donald Trump distanced himself from his former senior adviser.
