Bannon, Trump’s exassor, declares himself guilty of funding and avoids jail

Steve Bannon, an American ideologist of the extreme right and once strategist of Donald Trumphe declared himself guilty on Tuesday in the case of diversion of funds for the construction of the anti -migration wall with Mexico and was sentenced to three years of probation.

Present in the court where the hearing was held, Bannon, 71, declared himself guilty of diverting private donations, while the Prosecutor’s Office of the Manhattan Court withdrew other accusations that hung on him, in particular the money laundering.

When the judge asked him if he recognized that in 2019 he had participated in a “scheme” to “cheat more than ten people and obtain funds through false and fraudulent promises,” Bannon replied that “yes.”

Upon departure from the Court, he accused the State Attorney General of New York, Letitia James, an elected office, of representing an “existential threat to the Trump administration” and her policy.

Influential figure of the extreme right in the United States and Europe, Bannon was accused in September 2022 of financial fraud, which according to prosecutors, amounted to 15 million dollars.

At that time he declared himself innocent and denounced that he was the victim of a “false accusation.”

The case is related to the “We Build the Wall” website (we built the wall), launched in 2019, and that US justice believes that Bannon designed to raise funds from individuals to finance the construction of a wall destined to stop the Irregular immigration on the United States border with Mexico. The wall was an old Trump promise.

– “Not a cent” –

Bannon was accused of embezzling part of the funds for their own benefit, although he promised on the website that he would not go “a cent” to his pockets.

The Federal Justice instilled in this case, but Trump pardon him just before leaving the White House in 2021.

The ideologist had been one of the spokesmen of the accusations not proven from the alleged irregularities in the 2020 presidential elections to help win Joe Biden, theories that continue to circulate among some US conservatives.

In October 2022 he was sentenced to four months in prison for his refusal to collaborate with parliamentary research on the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021 by Trump supporters.

He served this sentence in prison and was released at the end of October 2024, in the middle of the presidential campaign.

Since then, he has returned to his “War Room” (War Fourth) podcast, very popular in ultraconservative circles, where he presents himself as a “political prisoner” and asked his listeners to vote in mass by Trump in the presidential elections of 5 November.
