Steve Bannon,Trumpism

Andrea Germanos is a senior editor and staff writer at Common Dreams.

This is a breaking story and may be updated. Former Trump White House chief strategist Steve Bannon was arrested and charged Thursday for his alleged role in 'defrauding hundreds of thousands of donors' related to the anti-immigrant 'We Build the Wall' campaign. The indictment was unsealed by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.

'While repeatedly assuring donors that Brian Kolfage, the founder and public face of We Build the Wall, would not be paid a cent, the defendants secretly schemed to pass hundreds of thousands of dollars to Kolfage, which he used to fund his lavish lifestyle,' Strauss added.
