Conservative strategist Steve Bannon, currently serving a four-month federal prison term, faces a new trial in New York for allegedly deceiving donors who contributed to a border wall project with Mexico. The trial, known as the 'We Build the Wall' case, is set to commence on December 9, with jury selection scheduled due to Bannon's absence from court.
The trial was initially expected in September but was postponed as Bannon is incarcerated in a federal penitentiary in Connecticut for defying a congressional subpoena related to the U.S. Capitol attack on January 6, 2021. He is due for release in late October.
