Steve Bannon, formerly one of Donald Trump’s most dependable advisers, is scheduled to appear in court in New York City on Thursday to answer to charges arising from his ‘We Build the Wall’ fundraising campaign.
Bannon, 68, was found guilty of contempt of Congress in relation to the Capitol riot on January 6th in July.
Bannon called DailyMail.com on Tuesday to denounce the indictment as having “false accusations” and the prosecutors as “deranged thugs.”
They are after all of us, not just me and President Trump, he continued. I’ll never give up the fight.
Trump granted Bannon a pardon from the federal government on charges of conspiracy to engage wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering before leaving office in January 2021 after losing the presidential election to Joe Biden.
According to the Washington Post, the new allegations being filed by the district attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York are comparable to those ones.
Bannon and others were charged with misleading donors to the “We Build the Wall” initiative, which led to his pardon.
A border wall along the southern border of the United States was the goal of the project. The New York office was reportedly considering whether to file charges against Bannon after his federal pardon, according to an article in the Post from February 2021.
According to reports, Bannon received $1 million as compensation for his work on the “We Build the Wall” initiative.
Bannon was charged with stealing $1 million in contributions. On the counts, he had entered a not-guilty plea.
Bannon responded to the allegations by stating to DailyMail.com through a spokesman:
The Soros-backed DA has now chosen to pursue phoney charges against me 60 days before the midterm election because WarRoom is the main source of the MAGA grassroots movement, despite the fact that I was just swatted three times by insane thugs from New York City who were motivated by the Biden Administration to assassinate me by police.
The statement continued: “Just days after being swatted three times by insane thugs from New York City motivated by the Biden Administration to kill me by police, the Soros-backed DA has now decided to pursue phoney charges against me 60 days before the midterm election because WarRoom is the main driver of the MAGA grassroots movement.”
I am honoured to be a strong voice on safeguarding our borders and erecting a wall to defend our nation from narcotics and vicious criminals, it said.
The WarRoom event will be larger, more important, urgent, and dramatic this time, according to Bannon. Not only President Trump and I, but the whole group of us, are under attack. I’ll never give up battling. In fact, I haven’t even started to battle yet. They’ll need to murder me first.
In the statement, it was said that Bannon’s home in Washington, DC, had been swatted, which is the act of calling a false 911 number in an effort to get a lot of police to the victim’s house.
After that encounter, Bannon told DailyMail.com: “They’ll have to kill me first. I’m never going to quit.”
if they really want to murder me.
The White House’s spokesperson earlier that day and Vice President Biden’s pronouncements throughout the last several days, he said, were the only causes of the incident.
This kind of brutality is being attempted by the White House. They are encouraging the unstable far-left populace to take this action.
His house has been swatted twice already.
A caller said there had been a gunshot at the location in July and allegedly threatened to commit suicide if police went to the property.
When the cops showed there, they realised it was a hoax call right away.
Bannon has also been in the spotlight lately as a result of the multiple references he receives in Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of President Trump, and the book Breaking History.
In Kushner’s book, the president’s son-in-law is accused of leaking information and Bannon threatens to “tear you in half” if the president’s son-in-law disagrees.
But it ends with Kushner assuring the president that he wasn’t against granting Bannon’s pardon after he was accused of engaging in a fraud scheme in a bid to gather private funding for a border wall.
The president was informed by Kushner that “Steve was tremendously detrimental to your first year in office, but he was there for you on the first campaign when few were,” the author wrote.
Kushner calls Bannon a “toxic” presence in the White House in his book.
In a book promotion interview, Kushner stated: “I believe if you look at Steve… Steve really arrived with us pretty quickly. On the campaign, he was excellent. When it came to the White House, he was a fantastic collaborator. I believe that the power may have somewhat gotten to his head or that he was just being more of who he was.
Bannon was “undermining us, battling with colleagues, and it simply wasn’t helping us achieve the plan,” Ivanka Trump’s husband said.
He did point out that Bannon is now a strong supporter of the Trump and is “probably correct on a number of topics.”
