Trump’s former aide, arrested and charged for fraud
Steve Bannon, a former top aide of President Donald Trump has been arrested and charged along with three others on Thursday.
He is charged for defrauding hundreds of thousands of donors in a Mexico border wall fundraising campaign.
Prosecutors said that the online crowdfunding campaign known as “We Build the Wall” raised more than $25 million, which the defendants said would be used on construction but was instead used for their own profit.
The arrest is the latest in a string of high-profile legal battles faced by members of Trump’s inner circle as the Republican runs for re-election in November.
