Steve Bannon is accused of fraud over a fundraising campaign. He denies any wrongdoing
Mr Bannon, who was a key adviser to President Trump during his 2016 campaign, was charged in August last year with fraud over a fundraising campaign to build a wall on the US-Mexico border.
Nice sun tan while being in prison 😎
👎🖕
Trump is making sure his friends are taken care of instead of doing things that would benefit the country before he gets kicked out of office. Showing his true colours until the end.
This Steve Bannon?
It’s funny how U.S. Presidential pardons and clemency is now considered wrong by Democrats and leftists when Trump does it but fine when Obama did it. 🙄
You can only pardon a guilty man.
A pardon forgives an offence - it should be seen as an admission of guilt.
Am i right in thinking lil wayne was pardoned for his crimes to music?
What about JoeExotic Pardon
Bannon the disciple of Goebbels and fraudster should be banned from entry in both the UK and the EU.
OG Trump has the trump cards.
Surely they should have a limit to how many people they can pardon it makes a mockery of the justice system
That should read... 'Trump pardons white supremacist and fraudster Bannon'.
this nasty piece of work should not be allowed to walk away from the misery he helped cause. there has to be a charge the state can bring him to justice on.
Obama holds the record for the largest single-day use of the clemency power, granting 330 commutations on January 19, 2017, his last full day in office.He also issued more commutations than the past 13 presidents combined. Tell us the truth BBC.
Trump pardoning all the criminals who supported him is so very Trump.
Pointless, State case can be opened anywhere the ‘fraud’ reaches...
“Clemency” is a pretty inappropriate way to describe what’s going on here. “Corrupt exercise of sovereign patronage” might work better for you.
He’s got a lot on him obviously
jpjanson Not a peep out of you he is a racsit Nazi 😱
Well of course, not so much 'draining the swamp' but jumping in and wallowing in it.
Fuck all that....
Well, that stops him being indicted at some future date, doesn't it?
Unfortunately, this action doesn't change what Steven Bannon is, nor what he stands for.
This says it all.
We do the opposite over here, departing PM can give honours to loads of deserving but also many random people including their mates
This is hypocrisy at the highest order. The west talk about democracy and law and order, but in reality nothing but corruption.
US should pardon itself after rancid Trump. I always pardon myself after one. Manners.
The heart on that guy. If you can pardon such an awful i dividual you can pardon anyone.
Clemency? Wow, that's not the word most Americans would use. Corruption...now that's the correct word.
He knows where the bodies are buried, so to speak.
Why is this pardoning allowed? It is carte blange to get your associates to commit crime while you're in office and blackmail them into staying sweet so you will pardon them on departure. This is a corruption clause built in to the American Constitution.
Hahaha. Worth it for the Cadwalladr meltdown.
Why would he need to be pardoned, I mean it’s not like he was involved with Russian collusion. Old Steve, he’s as clean as a whistle.
While Assange sits in a UK prison like a Chinese or Iranian political prisoner.
There are so many elements of American governance that have been exposed as open to misuse in the most blatant way under Trump. Surely there needs to be some significant reform.
Neil Young is looking well.
Douche
Well done president Trump. Keep winding up the easily offended leftards. 👍🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Presidential pardons are a stain on America
That's the final nail in Trump's coffin. Excellent. That'll help finish off his impeachment.
Shocker!
With Bannon on the loose, I don't think we've seen the end of 'Cult 45'.
ClemencyClownShow
👏👏👏👏
What a joke 45 has been - I'd laugh less ironically if he hadnt detrimentally affected so many Americans, and others all over the world.
Maybe he'll celebrate by finally taking a bath and brushing his teeth. He is such a slob
I am so disgusted with these pardons. WTF America? How is this okay?
Mainstream media, please stop reporting about Trump, unless he is arrested. We've had more than enough. Let him fade into obscurity and exist only on far right conspiratorial sites.
Bannon is a repulsive troll
'Clemency ', please BBC, do your job.
Trump pardoned Bannon becoz he needs him. Bannon will be useful for Trump post Presidency to keep Trump’s White Nationalists wing growing.
It won't matter because chronic criminals always slip up and crime again!!
Why have you used a picture of a boiled ham to lead with this article?
In the biggest slap in the face to his supporters, Trump pardons Steve Bannon who stole money from Trump supporters. Trump's parting message to his supporters 'f🙂ck all of you'.
America, laughing stock of the world yet it wants to police the world?
They won't stay out of trouble for long. Then they'll go down.
Isn’t that the guy that owns Wetherspoons?
Bannon will be back living in a van down by the river before long.
More good news please(((
Gangsters, all of them
His gift for the ‘farewell speech’!
He is a joke. The only man who was impeached twice lol
Don’t worry. He’s already doing new crimes.
Bannon was scamming money from Trump supporters
