Steve Bannon pleaded guilty on Tuesday to a fraud charge related to duping donors who gave money to a private effort to build a wall along the US southern border, though he will not face jail time.
Bannon, a conservative strategist and longtime ally of Donald Trump, reached a plea agreement over his role in a fundraising effort known as “We Build the Wall”, which solicited donations on the premise of building a wall along the US-Mexico border. Prosecutors said Bannon used the money to enrich himself and others involved.
