Former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach said Thursday that We Build the Wall, the scandal-plagued nonprofit that raised funds to construct privately funded border wall, is in the process of shutting down as former Trump adviser Steve Bannon is expected to face new charges that he defrauded contributors to the effort.
Kobach, the Republican candidate for Kansas attorney general, remains on We Build the Wall’s board of directors. He explained his continuing connection as necessary to wind down an organization that once boasted millions in contributions.
“Now you have to do an orderly shutdown of the corporation and there has to be some attorney involved to actually make it happen,” Kobach told reporters Thursday night after a Kansas Chamber of Commerce event in Olathe.
