Raw Story: Federal investigators are taking steps to stop a company linked to Steve Bannon from misleading consumers about the COVID-19 pandemic.



“Former Trump adviser and former Breitbart News chief Steve Bannon does not radiate ‘pinnacle of health.’ The portly, cigar-smoking, possibly former alcoholic is not known for his workout ethic.

But the savvy consumer will be able to read through the lines,” Mother Jones reported in March.

That advertising is now the focus of a federal crackdown.
