Arrest on fraud charges: Ex-Trump adviser Bannon sees himself as a victim

The US judiciary is investigating Trump’s former campaign manager Bannon. The ultra-conservative puller is said to have embezzled donations. The right-wing whisperer rejects the allegations and suspects a political hunt.

The former chief strategist of US President Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, sees himself as a victim of political persecution because of his temporary arrest and fraud allegations. The prosecution’s actions are only aimed at slowing down and intimidating supporters of the wall on the border with Mexico, Bannon said on his podcast. It was “political murder”. However, he will continue to fight for his beliefs. “I won’t shrink an inch.”

New York prosecutors have accused Bannon and three other suspects of diverting money from an online fundraiser to build a wall on the Mexican border. The non-profit organization called “We Build the Wall” has raised more than $ 25 million from “hundreds of thousands” donors. Bannon pleaded not guilty on Thursday and was released on bail.

Bannon is one of the most influential voices in the ultra-conservative camp of US politics. The co-founder of the Internet platform “Breitbart” joined Trump’s team in 2016 and was in charge of the election campaign. He is credited with a significant share in the then rather surprising move of the real estate entrepreneur into the White House. After Trump’s victory, Bannon became Trump’s chief strategist but had to resign in the summer of 2017. Building a wall on the border with Mexico was one of Trump’s most important election promises.
