Steve Bannon, the former White House chief strategist who was convicted on two counts of criminal contempt of Congress earlier this year, has been charged with money laundering, conspiracy, and scheming to defraud supporters of Donald Trump who thought they were funding a border wall along the US-Mexico border.
Bannon, who currently hosts the War Room podcast and show on the right-wing Real America’s Voice network, arrived at the Manhattan district attorney’s office on 8 September to surrender. As he entered the building, he shouted “they’re persecuting people!” to a group of reporters who’d gathered to witness his arrival.
