Former President Trump's longtime ally Steve Bannon has surrendered to face charges that he duped donors who gave money to build the border wall.
By MICHAEL R. SISAK, Associated Press NEW YORK — Former President Donald Trump's longtime ally Steve Bannon surrendered Thursday to face fresh charges that he duped donors who gave money to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Bannon said earlier that District Attorney Alvin Bragg"has now decided to pursue phony charges against me 60 days before the midterm election," accusing the Democratic prosecutor of targeting him because Bannon and his radio show are popular among Trump's Republican supporters.

Prosecutors alleged thousands of investors were tricked into thinking all of their donations would go toward the border wall project, although Bannon instead paid a salary to one campaign official and personal expenses for himself.
Bannon, who had pleaded not guilty to the federal charges, was dropped from the federal case when Trump pardoned him.
