Bannon also predicted Trump will face a third impeachment attempt if Republicans lose control of the House at the 2028 midterm elections. Trump has already been acquitted in two impeachment trials, one for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress in 2019 and another for incitement of insurrection following the Capitol Hill riot of January 6, 2021.
Trump was awaiting sentencing after being convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records in May 2024 when he won his second presidential election victory in November 2024.
The president has also been charged over claims he mishandled classified documents and broke the law whilst trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election result both nationwide and in the state of Georgia specifically. He has denied wrongdoing in all three cases.
