“We Build the Wall” founder, Bannon and others charged with defrauding donors

There have been a few times over the past couple of years when I found myself asking whatever happened to that We Build the Wall fund. It initially ran into some fits and starts, but eventually, sections of the wall were actually built. But the news today is far less encouraging. The United States Attorney s Office for the Southern District of New York announced this morning that the group s founder, Brian Kolfage, and others had been indicted on charges of defrauding their donors of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Also caught up in the alleged scheme was former Trump advisor Stephen Bannon, along with Andrew Badolato and Timothy Shea. They are accused of funneling donations away from the project to cover Bannon s personal expenses and finance Kolfage s extravagant lifestyle. (Bloomberg)
