NEW YORK — Steve Bannon associate Timothy Shea was convicted by a New York City jury on Friday for defrauding thousands of donors in the “We Build the Wall” fundraising scam.
Shea, 51, was found guilty of conspiracy and obstruction of justice in Manhattan Federal Court.
This was his second trial. The first one ended in a mistrial in April when a juror refused to convict him, citing a government “witch hunt.”
