In a recent development, Steve Bannon, a prominent conservative media figure, has proposed Donald Trump Jr.
, the eldest son of former President Donald Trump, as a potential candidate for the position of U.S. attorney general.
As the November elections approach, the political landscape is bracing for a potential face-off between the presumptive GOP nominee, Donald Trump, and the incumbent President Joe Biden. Bannon, a staunch Trump supporter who served as a chief strategist during his administration, is betting on a second Trump term. Speculations are rife about his potential choice for the head of the Justice Department, according to Newsweek.
In a recent episode of his podcast, Bannon conversed with Sergio Gor, business partner of Donald Trump Jr. at the conservative publishing house Winning Team Publishing. Bannon expressed his belief that Trump Jr. would be an excellent choice for the role of U.S. attorney general.
"Sergio, ensure you relay to your partner that Don Jr. was mentioned as a potential attorney general this morning. I must admit, the idea is growing on me... A law degree isn't necessary, common sense is," Bannon stated in a jovial tone.
He further added, "Don Jr. possesses common sense. I'd like to see him as the top contender for the AG position. I would be thrilled to attend the confirmation hearing."
In response, Gor stated, "I appreciate the suggestion and will discuss it with him. We are scheduled to fly out together in an hour, so this will be our topic of conversation."
Bannon's comments were in reference to a recent MSNBC show hosted by Willie Geist. During a discussion about Trump's legal challenges, Geist suggested that Trump believes a presidential win would make his recent guilty verdict in the hush money trial and his three other indictments disappear.
Geist stated, "That's the gamble: If he wins, everything disappears. He's managed to delay the other criminal cases, probably until after the election. He believes that if he wins, Merrick Garland will be replaced, perhaps by Don Jr., and everything will be resolved."
Last week, Trump was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election. Despite the allegations of a sexual encounter with Daniels in 2006, which he denies, Trump maintains his innocence and plans to appeal the verdict.
Furthermore, Trump and his allies have claimed that the four criminal cases against him are politically motivated. They argue that Democratic operatives are unjustly prosecuting Trump to sabotage his presidential campaign and keep Biden in the White House.
However, there is no evidence to suggest that the cases against Trump are politically motivated or that Biden has any involvement in them, including the two brought by the Justice Department's special counsel. As the political landscape continues to evolve, these developments will undoubtedly play a significant role in shaping the future of American politics.
