On Thursday, Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign manager Steve Bannon was arrested after being indicted on federal charges.
Bannon was indicted for using hundreds of thousands of dollars from the“We Build The Wall” fundraiser to cover his personal expenses, including a yacht.
Bannon, Brian Kolfage, Andrew Badolato and Timothy Shea were charged.
Acting SDNY U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss stated, “As alleged, the defendants defrauded hundreds of thousands of donors, capitalizing on their interest in funding a border wall to raise millions of dollars, under the false pretense that all of that money would be spent on construction.”
Strauss continued regarding Bannon, “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.”
Trump Claims He Barely Knows Bannon
White House put out a ridiculous statement on Thursday, ‘President Trump has not been involved with Steve Bannon since the campaign and the early part of the Administration, and he does not know the people involved with this project.”
This is awkward because there are videos all over social media with Donald Trump, Jr schilling for this scam.
@ACLU posted, “The Department of Homeland Security, at the urging of President Trump, awarded a $400 million contract to a company affiliated with Steve Bannon’s ‘We Build the Wall’ effort. We're demanding answers.“
@JoyceWhiteVance Tweeted, “Bannon is now looking at a maximum sentence of 20 years in a district where you can only get credit for cooperating if you truthfully disclose all criminal conduct you are aware of.“
