Brian Kolfage, the U.S. Air Force veteran charged alongside former Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon with defrauding donors in a scheme to build the president's signature wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, is scheduled to appear before a judge by videoconference on Monday.

NEW YORK - Brian Kolfage, the U.S. Air Force veteran charged alongside former Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon with defrauding donors in a scheme to build the president’s signature wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, is scheduled to appear before a judge by videoconference on Monday.

Federal prosecutors on Aug. 20 accused Bannon, Kolfage and two other defendants of defrauding donors through a $25 million crowdfunding campaign called “We Build the Wall.” Bannon and Kolfage used hundreds of thousands of dollars of that money to cover personal expenses, according to the charges.

In a court filing last week, prosecutors asked the judge to warn Kolfage and the other defendants against making “extrajudicial statements” that could taint the jury pool, citing what they called a “steady stream” of often “highly inflammatory posts” by Kolfage on social media.

The donors know their funds went to fund efforts to ensure the wall was built. Fake news reporters could easily show that but they are liars & terrorists. America's people will find these lying reporters working with America's enemies & hold them accountable. Trump2020

Of course he went to UofA. All trash does

If the donors don't mind they were bilked of these monies and would donate again if they could as I've heard a few say is there still a case, even though defendants claimed it would all go to wall ?
