Former top Trump strategist Steve Bannon was arrested and charged on Thursday along with three others for defrauding hundreds of thousands of donors in a Mexico border wall fundraising campaign - a blow to the Republican incumbent.
Shortly after the charges were announced, the president aimed to distance himself, saying:"Don't know anything about the project at all". The initiative began in 2018 as a GoFundMe campaign to raise money organisers said would go towards the border wall Mr Trump had promised during his 2016 campaign, which Mr Bannon orchestrated.
Prosecutors say the men gave repeated false assurances to donors, vowing that all funds raised would go"only directly to wall!!! Not anyone's pocket." Mr Bannon in particular received over US $1 million of the donations which he funnelled through his non-profit, using some of it to pay Mr Kolfage while a substantial sum lined his own pockets.
Once a prominent voice in the president's ear, Mr Bannon was behind some of Mr Trump's most controversial moves, including his ban on some travellers from abroad and the decision to pull the United States out of the Paris climate change agreement.
BLM! Why are they still alive unlike George Floyd during arrest? On going sectarianism between Whites and non-Whites warlords and their instruments of power such as the police by the Whites cannot go on. Whites must forget the glory of non-Whites being their property!
wot a shame :)
'Half a dozen close Trump associates have been indicted or convicted...' I imagine some of those have turned and there will be more arrests following their election (depending who wins of course)
