Bannon Pleads Guilty in Fraud Case, Avoids Jail

Steve Bannon is expected to plead guilty to charges of fraud related to the 'We Build the Wall' campaign, in which he and his associates allegedly defrauded donors by misusing funds intended for a border wall. The plea deal, anticipated to include no jail time, is being negotiated with New York state prosecutors after Bannon was pardoned for similar federal charges by former President Donald Trump. Bannon has already served a four-month prison sentence for contempt of Congress related to the January 6th investigation. His trial was initially set to begin in March but has been postponed as he hires new legal representation. The case highlights ongoing legal challenges for Bannon, a prominent figure in right-wing politics and former Trump adviser.
