# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Stephen Kevin Bannon was a Navy officer, then a Goldman Sachs banker, then an unlikely detour as acting director of Biosphere 2 in 1993. He executive-produced 18 Hollywood films and co-founded Breitbart News in 2007, later calling it "the platform for the alt-right." In 2016 he ran Trump's presidential campaign and entered the White House as chief strategist, clashing with Priebus and Kushner before Trump fired him seven months in. He returned to Breitbart, was disavowed after Fire and Fury, and pivoted to backing insurgent Republicans and building a network of far-right movements in Europe. In 2020 he was arrested for fraud tied to a border-wall fundraising scheme; Trump pardoned him federally, but New York charged him anyway, and in February 2025 he pleaded guilty and received conditional discharge. Separately, he refused a January 6 subpoena, was convicted of contempt of Congress in 2022, and served four months in a Connecticut prison in 2024.
