Steve Bannon & three associates were indicted by investigators at the U.S. Southern District of NY. Prosecutors allege the group of conservative leaders defrauded donors and that led to raising "more than $25 million to build a wall along the southern border of the United States.
The 24-page indictment says Steve Bannon received more than $1 million and used the money to pay for hundreds of thousands of dollars in personal expenses after the "We Build The Wall" campaign claimed all money would toward their "mission and purpose" of building the wall.
Prosecutors allege Steve Bannon and his three associates routed payments from the wall campaign through a non-profit and another shell company and disguised them with fake invoices and sham vendor arrangements to help keep their personal pay secret.
Within the first week of "We the People Build The Wall" campaign launching, prosecutors say the alleged scheme raised $17 million.

Context: Pres Trump said just this week that he still intends to make Mexico pay for the wall. Mexico has yet to do so.
