BREAKING: Federal prosecutors charge Steve Bannon,
President Donald J. Trump's former campaign adviser, and three others with defrauding donors of hundreds of thousands of dollars in a border wall fundraising campaign.

Steve Bannon, Trump’s former senior advisor, was arrested and charged with wire fraud and money laundering today. Bannon was arrested along with three other men for their involvement with an online crowdfunding campaign, “We Build the Wall,” that solicited donations to privately build Trump’s border wall. The group raised over $25 million, promising that “100% of the funds raised…will be used in the execution of our mission and purpose.” But in actuality, Bannon funneled over $1 million of the donations through a nonprofit he controlled to secretly pay the founder of the group and cover hundreds of thousands of dollars in Bannon’s personal expenses.

You can now add Steve Bannon to the list of Trump associates and former campaign officials who have been indicted or convicted since he took office, in addition to Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, George Papadapolous, Michael Cohen, and Roger Stone. Remember when Trump claimed that he would surround himself with “only with the best and most serious people”? Far from that, Trump is surrounding himself with grifters and criminals while running his administration like a mob boss. This laundry list of convictions and guilty pleas should serve as a warning to those who still pledge their loyalty to Trump rather than to America: when you serve a man who operates with lies, deceit, and corruption, he will bring you down to his level.
