"The people rendered their verdict on all this lawfare on last Tuesday, one week ago. And like I have worked on for years and years and years, the whole country came together. Working class people all over came together and they rejected what's going on in this court and what's going on with President Trump. The lawfare of Tish (Letitia) James and Alvin Bragg and Jack Smith and Merrick Garland has been rejected by a landslide by the American people. So the one thing I have to say to Merrick Garland, Lisa Monaco, Jack Smith, Tish James, Alvin Bragg: You wait, the hunted are about to become the hunters. Thank you very much."

STORYLINE:
Speaking to reporters after a court hearing in New York on Tuesday, longtime Donald Trump ally Steve Bannon warned U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, New York Attorney General Letitia James and other prosecutors that "the hunted are about to become the hunters."

"You wait," said Bannon. "The people rendered their verdict on all this lawfare on last Tuesday."

"They rejected what's going on in this court and what's going on with President Trump. The lawfare of Tish James and Alvin Bragg and Jack Smith and Merrick Garland has been rejected by a landslide by the American people," he added.

Bannon appeared in court Tuesday for a pretrial hearing in his New York criminal case.

Bannon is accused of defrauding donors who gave money to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Bannon has pleaded not guilty to money laundering, conspiracy, fraud and other charges.

The trial is scheduled to begin early next month.

In a separate case, Bannon was released from prison on October 29th after serving a four-month sentence for defying a subpoena in the congressional investigation into the U.S. Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021.

Bannon claims former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent him to prison to silence his voice — despite a jury having convicted him and a judge having sentenced him.

Bannon, 70, reported to the prison July 1 after the Supreme Court rejected his bid to delay the prison sentence while he appeals his conviction.
