Stephen K.

The precise details of the state case could not be confirmed Tuesday evening. But people familiar with the situation, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sealed indictment, suggested the prosecution will likely mirror aspects of the federal case in which Bannon was pardoned.
In that indictment, prosecutors alleged that Bannon and several others defrauded contributors to a private, $25 million fundraising effort, called “We Build the Wall,” taking funds that donors were told would support construction of a barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border.

I keep waiting for the first MAGA person to realize that Steve Bannon is being prosecuted for stealing THEIR money from THEM. But the con man and deplorable carnival barker is now telling the rubes that this is a prosecution of them. The victims love their abuser and want more. pic.twitter.com/mJvOrNzoks
