Steve Bannon's trial in border wall fundraising case set for December, after his ongoing prison term
While Steve Bannon serves a four-month federal prison term, the conservative strategist now has a December date for a different trial in New York, where he’s charged with scheming to con donors who gave money to build a border wall with Mexico. With Bannon excused from court because of his incarceration, a judge Tuesday scheduled jury selection to start Dec. 9 in the “We Build the Wall” case. The trial had been expected as soon as September but was postponed because Bannon, a longtime ally of former President Donald Trump, is in a federal penitentiary in Connecticut. Bannon is behind bars because he was convicted of defying a congressional subpoena related to the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. He’s due to be released in late October. The judge in the New York case, April Newbauer, said she wanted to allow enough time for Bannon to meet with his lawyers and review trial exhibits and things she described as “difficult to go over during counsel visits in prison.”
