We Build the Wall was sold as a volunteer organisation, but Bannon received more than $1m from the group
New York — Stephen Bannon, one of the architects of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, has been arrested over his involvement in an online fundraising group that raised more than $25m to help fund a wall on the US-Mexico border.
He is expected to appear in a New York courtroom on Thursday. Three others were also charged in the matter, including the group’s founder, Brian Kolfage. Bannon served as the CEO of Trump’s presidential campaign and was the ideological architect of his populist vision. The former leader of Breitbart News helped Trump grow his appeal among the far right — often prompting accusations of racism and conspiracy-mongering — and, in the White House, was a leading proponent of the administration’s efforts to ban travel from a group of Muslim-majority countries.
