Steve Bannon, the architect of former President Donald Trump’s political reign with a soft spot for white nationalist views, turned himself in to New York City prosecutors on Thursday, where he was hit with charges stemming from his alleged involvement in a multimillion-dollar scam to fleece credulous xenophobes into believing they were funding the construction of the border wall between the United States and Mexico.
Smiling and defiant, Bannon arrived at the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, lecturing the assembled crowd of gawkers and hecklers as he walked inside, vowing that he had “not yet begun to fight” and “they’ll have to kill me first.”
