Bannon Indicted in NY on Conspiracy, Money Laundering Charges in Alleged Wall Scheme
NBC Chicago ^ | 09/08/2022 | Michael R. Sisak

Former President Donald Trump’s longtime ally Steve Bannon surrendered Thursday to face state money laundering and conspiracy charges in New York alleging he duped donors who gave money to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. Bannon is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday afternoon.

Prosecutors say that while Bannon promised donors all the money they gave would go to building the wall, he was involved in funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars to two other people involved in the scheme. The indictment didn't identify those people by name, but the details match those of Brian Kolfage and Andrew Badolato, who pleaded guilty to federal charges in April.

Bannon was already tried for this. He was alleged to have pilfered $1 million of the donations, back in 2017. President Trump pardoned him in 2019. So this is just a rehash of the same charges. In legal terms, it’s Double Jeopardy.

It's basically double jeopardy, with the federal/state trial making a meaningless distinction that should probably be eliminated. Bannon was aquitted already.

However the courts decide, Trump said he's innocent, and I'll take that over any judge, any day. Case closed!
