Steve Bannon’s European political operation to help right-wing populists win in the 2019 European elections is in disarray. According to a fresh investigation by the Guardian, the former chief strategist to Donald Trump miscalculated his campaign efforts, and in 9 of the 13 European countries in which he is seeking to campaign he could be barred or prevented from doing any work as he would be breaking election laws.
