The Kansas City Star reports:
Former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, the Republican candidate for state attorney general, resigned Friday from the board of directors of We Build the Wall after the nonprofit organization was indicted on allegations of money laundering, conspiracy and fraud.
New York state prosecutors unsealed an indictment against former Trump adviser Steve Bannon on Thursday, alleging he defrauded donors to We Build the Wall, which fundraised to construct privately-funded strips of wall along the southern border.
We Build the Wall was also indicted and accused of the same crimes. Both Bannon and We Build the Wall have pleaded not guilty. The indictment put Kobach in the potentially politically precarious position of helping lead an organization under indictment while running to become Kansas’ top law enforcement officer.

Yesterday Kobach compared Biden to Hitler during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s show. Then he complained that Republicans are being “demonized.”

On 1/23/17 Trump lied that 3-5 million undocumented immigrants had somehow been able to vote illegally, costing him the popular vote.
In 2018 his Kobach-fronted voter fraud commission disbanded, citing lack of evidence. He kept on repeating the lie.
