Steve Bannon, a close ally of former President Donald Trump, pleaded guilty to a fraud charge related to a fundraising campaign for a border wall. He admitted to helping defraud donors who were contributing money for the project. As part of his guilty plea, Bannon agreed to a conditional discharge and waived his right to appeal. He was sentenced to three years of conditional discharge and is prohibited from serving in leadership roles at charitable organizations or engaging in fundraising activities in New York State. Originally facing six charges including money laundering and conspiracy, Bannon’s plea deal marks a significant development in the case. This story is still unfolding, and updates may follow.
