Donald Trump’s longtime ally Steve Bannon surrendered Thursday to face state money laundering and conspiracy charges in New York alleging he duped donors who gave money to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Former White House strategist Steve Bannon, arrives at court, Thursday, Sept. 8, 2022, in New York. Bannon surrendered to New York authorities, and is expected to be charged in border wall scheme.
Bannon’s state-level charges in New York stem from the same alleged conduct as an attempted federal prosecution that ended abruptly, before trial, when Trump pardoned Bannon on his last day in office. Manhattan prosecutors also charged WeBuildTheWall, Inc., a nonprofit entity that Bannon and others allegedly used to solicit donations.
“This is all about 60 days from the day,” he said, referring to the upcoming national election in November. Bragg and New York Attorney General Letitia James planned a 1 p.m. news conference to discuss the charges against Bannon. While the wall Bannon’s group proposed was to be built on the U.S. southern border, more than 1,000 miles from the Big Apple, Manhattan prosecutors have jurisdiction to pursue charges against Bannon because some donors to the effort lived in New York.
