Here's how Steve Bannon looked during a Fox News appearance that took place about 10 days before his arrest pic.twitter.com/NV40hHBRPa - Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) August 20, 2020
Thursday’s indictment comes as Mr. Bannon faces multiple other probes. Federal and state authorities are investigating a media company linked to Mr. Bannon and exiled Chinese businessman Guo Wengui that raised more than $300 million in a private offering this spring, The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday. It also emerged this week that the Senate Intelligence Committee referred Mr. Bannon last year to the Justice Department for possible prosecution, according to a person familiar with the matter, believing he had lied to congressional investigators during the panel’s yearslong investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. It isn’t known whether law enforcement took any action on it. https://www.wsj.com/articles/former-senior-trump-advisor-steve-bannon-charged-with-alleged-fundraising-scheme-11597931727
So many grifters are wrapped up in Steve Bannon’s fraudulent We Build The Wall “charity.” This was such an obvious con job from the outset. Let’s get these all these goons behind bars where they belong. pic.twitter.com/HDQu6bUrfv - Vic Berger IV (@VicBergerIV) August 20, 2020
Mr. Bannon was arrested early Thursday on a $35 million, 150-foot yacht that was off the coast of Westbrook, Conn., law enforcement officials said. Working with the Coast Guard, federal postal inspectors and special agents from the United States attorney’s office in Manhattan boarded the vessel, which belonged to the exiled Chinese businessman Guo Wengui, the officials said. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/20/nyregion/steve-bannon-indicted.html
"The guy who started that is a triple amputee, a military veteran, and he's raised more than $20 million," Prince, an advisory board member to the wall project, told me last year. That guy, Brian Kolfage, was arrested & charged today for defrauding donors of 100s of 1000s of $$. - Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan) August 20, 2020
Комиссии Конгресса направили рекомендацию о криминальном расследовании Стива Бэннона, Эрика Принса и других за вранье Конгрессу, но дело ушло в песок.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Tuesday made a criminal referral to the Justice Department for Erik Prince based on evidence that “strongly indicates” the Trump ally lied to Congress. In a letter to Attorney General William Barr, Schiff claimed Prince, the billionaire founder of a military contracting firm, intentionally misled the House Intelligence Committee and impaired their probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Schiff wrote the publication of the Mueller report shed light on discrepancies between Prince's interview with the special counsel and his testimony before the committee in November 2017, when he denied he was attempting to establish a back channel between Russia and Trump during the president’s transition. https://www.politico.com/story/2019/04/30/adam-schiff-criminal-referral-erik-prince-1292917
The Republican and Democratic leaders of the Senate Intelligence Committee made criminal referrals of Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, Steve Bannon, Erik Prince and Sam Clovis to federal prosecutors in 2019, passing along their suspicions that the men may have misled the committee during their testimony, an official familiar with the matter told NBC News. The official confirmed reports in the Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post, which reported on the matter last week. A criminal referral to the Justice Department means Congress believes a matter warrants investigation for potential violation of the law. The committee detailed its concerns in a letter to the U.S. attorney's office in Washington, D.C., in June 2019, the official said. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/senate-made-criminal-referral-trump-jr-bannon-kushner-two-others-n1237155

For contrast, this is the mega yacht whose use is at the center of Jerry Falwell Jr.'s current scandal. https://t.co/0z5YZNq7Gf https://t.co/9ut43eW1Da pic.twitter.com/4j2g3dm7bn
