Steve Bannon has pleaded guilty to fraud in a deal with New York prosecutors that will keep him out of jail, admitting in a Manhattan criminal courtroom to bilking donors to a spurious campaign to build parts of Donald Trump’s U.S.-Mexico border wall.
Bannon was accused of defrauding donors and helping pocket tens of thousands of dollars in a scheme supporting the construction of a few miles of U.S.-Mexico border in 2019, which landed his co-defendants in a parallel federal case in prison with millions of dollars owed in restitution.
