Steve Bannon
Steve Bannon was born on November 27, 1953, and from Norfolk, Virginia, U.S. He is an American media executive, political strategist, former investment banker, and the former executive chairman of Breitbart News.
Recently, he along with three other people has been federally indicted in a press release from the U.S. Department of Justice which accuses the four of using the “We Build The Wall” campaign to steal funds from donors.
According to the report, Steve Bannon has taken $1 million and funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars from the campaign to Brian Kolfage, one of the other people named in the indictment. Furthermore, Steve and Kolfage took a combined $1.35 million at least of the $25 million raised to crowdfund the border wall while Timothy Shea and Andrew Badolato helped cover up the scheme.
On August 20th, all three were arrested and acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss said in a statement that “As alleged, the defendants defrauded hundreds of thousands of donors, capitalizing on their interest in funding a border wall to raise millions of dollars, under the pretense that all of that money would be spent on construction. While repeatedly assuring donors that Brian Kolfage, the founder and public face of We Build the Wall, would not be paid a cent, the defendants secretly schemed to pass hundreds of thousands of dollars to Kolfage, which he used to fund his lavish lifestyle.”
Additionally, they used the money to enjoy their lavish lifestyle included luxury SUV, a golf cart, jewelry, cosmetic surgery, personal tax payments, home renovations, and credit card debt.
