Steve Bannon pleaded guilty to defrauding donors of a private border wall initiative, escaping jail time due to a plea agreement. This agreement restricts him from various activities, including fundraising and serving in charitable capacities for three years. Bannon voiced concerns about perceived political bias in the judicial process, particularly in Democratic-controlled areas, and lamented the power of prosecutors in his post-court commentary. The plea deal ends a controversial case that had drawn significant political attention, especially from former President Trump and his allies.
Bannon’s plea deal spares him prison time but restricts him from fundraising, serving as a charity officer, or possessing donor data for three years.
Plea deal came after an evaluation of a potentially biased jury in Manhattan, influenced by its largely Democratic voter base, leading to his guilty plea.
