Bannon Facing Fraud Charge
Former South Carolina Congressman and Fox News contributor Trey Gowdy says Steve Bannon’s recent arrest for defrauding “We Build the Wall” donors is a classic fraud scheme. The allegation says that Bannon, former chief strategist for the Trump Administration, and his accomplices ran money donated to the private fund-raising effort through a shell company by using fake invoices and a sham vendor arrangement to defraud donors of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Gowdy, appearing on Fox News, tells reporter Trace Gallagher, “The indictment is a formal charge, it is not evidence, but what you just laid out, what the Southern District [of New York] just laid out is a classic fraud scheme.” Bannon was released on a $5 million bond and his travel restricted to the New York and Washington, D.C. areas.
