In reply to the discussion: Bannon Arrested [View all]George II
(67,782 posts)8. It's on NBC New York news now:
https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/politics/former-trump-campaign-manager-steve-bannon-indicted-for-fraud-in-ny/2576990/
Former Trump campaign manager and White House chief strategist Steve Bannon was indicted in New York on fraud charges related to a fundraising campaign to build a border wall, federal prosecutors said.
Bannon is among four people indicted for allegedly defrauding hundreds of thousands of donors to the online "We Build the Wall" campaign.
Manhattan federal prosecutors allege that Bannon, campaign leader Brian Kolfage, Andrew Badolato and Timothy Shea "received hundreds of thousands of dollars in donor funds from We Build the Wall, which they each used in a manner inconsistent with the organizations public representations."
"We Build the Wall" began as a GoFundMe campaign in late 2018, designed to raise money directly from the public to build a border wall in the face of Congressional opposition.
