Steve Bannon charged - Queen Elizabeth's legacy - Taxing student loan forgiveness

Bannon is facing charges that he siphoned off more than $1m from the “We Build the Wall” fundraising effort that promised to send all proceeds towards underwriting the completion of the US-Mexico border wall to enrich himself and his associates. The fundraising effort promised donors that its organizers would not draw any compensation.

Bannon surrendered himself to the Manhattan district attorney’s office after being told in recent days that charges were imminent. He walked into the district attorney’s office, shouting over assembled television cameras that he was facing a political prosecution that sought to undermine his far-right talkshow, War Room, in the 60-day run-up to the 2022 midterms.

The state charges, led by the Manhattan district attorney and New York state attorney general, mirror the federal indictment brought in August 2020 against Bannon. Bannon never went to trial after he received a presidential pardon from Donald Trump that expunged the federal charges. But pardons do not apply to state-level prosecutions.
