Steve Bannon's fraud trial delayed until next year

Steve Bannon's criminal trial will be postponed until next year after prosecutors introduced additional evidence in his fraud case. The former White House chief strategist, who served a four-month prison sentence this year for contempt of Congress, was set to be tried next month on criminal fraud charges over an effort to solicit donations to build a border wall. The judge allowed prosecutors to introduce evidence about financial transactions involving Bannon's nonprofit organization We Build the Wall and his American Express card. Manhattan prosecutors charged Bannon in September 2022 with money laundering and conspiracy for allegedly deceiving donors who gave more than $15 million to build a border wall like Donald Trump proposed during his election campaigns and presidency.
