Steve Bannon is Being Indicted

Steve Bannon is expected to surrender Thursday to face New York state charges related to his fundraising effort to build a wall along the southern US border, people familiar with the matter say.

The state charges, which have been returned in an indictment, are based on the same conduct Bannon was charged with by federal prosecutors in 2020. Then-President Donald Trump pardoned Bannon on the federal fraud charges related to the alleged scheme as he was leaving office. Presidential pardons do not apply to state investigations.

Trump pardoned Bannon for his crimes at the federal level, but now New York has got him! Elections matter: NY Democrats took the majority in state legislatures in 2017 and were able to close the loophole to allow this to happen. Finally, some justice! https://t.co/nkZtWvHGuL
