Steve Bannon pleads guilty to defrauding donors in border wall project

Steve Bannon pleaded guilty to defrauding donors in a private effort to build a border wall, avoiding jail time with a plea deal. Bannon must stay out of trouble for three years and is restricted from fundraising or serving in charity roles. He criticized the prosecution as political persecution and urged investigations into prosecutors. The case involved the We Build the Wall project, which raised over $20 million but faced legal challenges and criticism from Trump. Bannon previously served prison time in an unrelated case.
