Bannon and three others – including Brian Kolfage, who spearheaded the "We Build the Wall" fundraising effort – were each indicted by the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of New York on one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering.
The White House distanced Trump from the alleged crowdfunding scheme. "As everyone knows, President Trump had no involvement in this project and felt it was only being done in order to showboat, and perhaps raise funds," White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said in a statement. She cited Trump's critical tweet from July about the project.
Trump campaign surrogates, including the president's son, Donald Trump Jr., and his girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle, previouslyto privately fund the wall. A spokeswoman said Thursday that Trump Jr.'s "previous praise of the group was based on what he was led to believe about their supposed intention to help build the wall on our southern border and if he and others were deceived, the group deserves to be held accountable for their actions.
All fabricated charges provided by fake news . What about Hillary Clinton's emails !
When trumps taxes are made public after the election he will go to jail for fraud more than likely. Given the fraud eill be state based only in new york it will also likoey not be a pardonable item he can sweep away.
Isn’t it great how nonpartisan is? Makes you wonder how truely unbiased their business reporting is.
If anyone Trump knows breaks the law they go to prison. Anyone the Clintons know break the law they end up 6’ under. All administrations have people who once worked for them get into trouble.
Too late to get a pardon
the dem's would have more but others have air tight alibis
The funniest part is that if he gets convicted, and Trump loses, he won't get pardoned from the man he helped elect. Now thats Karma with capital K.
Cant wait for the Obama clan to be swept up and charged. Durham will put them all in the headlines.
Bill Clinton named a pedophile. Media silent
Oeps Top of ice-mountain ?
RNC 2020 - If you ain't indicted, you ain't invited. Bannon has the goods on Trump too and Trump has zero leverage unless he wins.
This case smells like a setup tees up for the liberal media to feast on. Political operatives at work.If Bannin proven innocent will there be apologies? Of course not.
This is what happens when players from the real world take a stab at politics. They don't have the depth and sleaziness of the swamp to protect them. Grow up people. MAGA Trump2020
realDonaldTrump is next. Just wait until he’s outta office
Still voting red
Soviet show trials have arrived in America
if Dems want to win the election run a fact campaign on TIK TOK and Youtube on Trump. Trump will react like the spoilt, petty, inept 4th-grade child he is and try to close them down.
But doesn’t Bannon think Trump is the one coming after him? Don’t let that little nugget be known. If you rely on your news from NBCNews or any of their affiliates YOU’RE A MORON! The DNC owns them! And they own you too...
Too bad for Bannon Trump won’t be around to pardon him. He should have got busted sooner
And yet there is still nothing....NOTHING... to connect Trump to ANY illegal activity... So how about you stop with the opinions especially when you dont do it for the OTHER side!!!!
It would be easier to list who hasn’t, namely Kellyanne Conway. Probably Barr is still working on her.
This article should include the bad apples on the Dem side, like those who spied on an opposing candidate and then tried to take him down after duly elected. C’mon CNBC - you want to tell the truth don’t you ?
It means something that we would elect a non insider someone media said had poor chharacter after they sold us WMDs. Trump has shown remarkable character and deserves a second term
Now shown the longer list of who the clintons have had killed. 😂😂😂
Release my peeps
Don't think he will be the last.
Is this picture of Trump doesn't spell guilty I don't know what does.
There you can add 20 -, 30 to it.
X had it right.
The arrest of Steve Bannon, President orange man’s onetime campaign chief and former White House strategist, makes him the latest ex-associate of orange man’s to face charges. But he’s far from the first.
Bannon’s case won’t progress fast enough for Trump’s pardon if Trump loses in Nov.
Fake emperor Trump is already admitting defeat by his actions is desperate he’s sinister is divisive and he will do anything to be reelected because his ginormous ego won’t allow himself to lose sad crooked!!!
And the world is watching and waiting for the people to correct their mistake in picking trump.
Stick to business news. With the exception of Squawk Box, your network is quickly becoming unwatchable
And not the last...
This is Obama family . Take a look at their T.shirt ! Ok the picture is Che Guevara who is the most famous figure in the communist countries specially Cuba ! Go from there for all the ones who adore this family ! Are u guys ready to become a Citizen of a communist country !
Could happen to anyone. Just 4-5 ppl nbd!
I’ve praised Bannon many times for his political savy but never knew til yesterday that he weaseled his way into Seinfeld royalties when he had no business accepting them.
Now show how many were illegally spied on and unmasked by the FBI, Obama and Biden.
I guess we need to wait for a real AG so these referrals can be address for the American people.
Just because you arrest someone for show, doesn't mean they're guilty.
Holy cow! The deepest of deep state storyline creaters is a crook. How goes that Christian vote now? Robert and Elizabeth Mercer, Sheldon Adleson, are just a few of the folks I would like to see in the docket m
Federal Government should have done this sooner. Each party becomes stronger after the removal of its crooks. Doing Democrats no favors ignoring Pelosi and Schumer, nor Republicans ignoring Mitch.
All on bogus charges... and DEMOCRATS get free pass. HunterBiden
The RICO Act is slowly closing in on Mafia Don.

Tough days Donald?
First list all of CNBC’s fake news stories about Trump over the past 4 years and then will consider your credibility enough to read this idiotic story.
Being accused is not being convicted. NBC is biased to the point you cannot believe them NBC
realDonaldTrump friends are all criminals
How about the list of people that attempted to oust Hillary? Wait ... they are all dead.
Bill Clinton named a pedophile. Media silent
Odd my list is a lot longer but here is a good comparative of Trump to Obama. So if you support Trump ask yourself if these are people around him what's he up to?
The Obama Administration is still under Investigation.
