---

Steven Bannon's platform to air COVID-19 conspiracy theories is distributed by a con man who has a long list of serious arrests dating back decades and a federal bank-fraud conviction.

War Room: Pandemic is a podcast and radio program that appeals to a MAGA audience and focuses on the coronavirus, and is hosted by President Trump's former chief strategist at the White House and by the former Nigel Farage adviser Raheem Kassam.

It has covered COVID-19 and pushed false narratives about the virus, including giving weight to the unproven theory that it was somehow man-made.
