Title:09 Sep 2022
This Thursday, former Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon turned himself in to New York police where he faces state charges for defrauding those who made donations to a non-profit anti-immigrant organization called We Build the Wall (We build the wall, in Spain). Federal prosecutors indicted Bannon for the first time in 2020, but Trump granted him a pardon before his trial began. Two of the co-defendants in the case, along with Bannon, later pleaded guilty to federal charges. New York State Attorney General Letitia James announced the new state indictment on Thursday, saying Bannon illegally misappropriated donations made to finance sections of the wall to be built along the border between the United States and Mexico.
Attorney General Letitia James: “[Bannon] he basically stole millions of dollars for his own benefit and that of other political allies. Currently, he and [la organizaciĆ³n] We Build the Wall is accused of defrauding more than $15 million from these donors and laundering the proceeds to further their activities and conceal the fraud.
