(June 7, 2022): “A federal judge declared a mistrial Tuesday in the criminal case against a Colorado businessman accused of laundering money from a bogus charity that milked about $25 million from private donors who thought they were funding the construction of former President Donald Trump’s border wall.” https://www.courthousenews.com/we-build-the-wall-fraud-case-ends-in-mistrial-jurors-hopelessly-deadlocked/
“…From the beginning, We Build the Wall promised that 100% of funds raised would go toward construction of a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. It quickly raised some $25 million in private donations on GoFundMe but built a mere 3 miles of fencing. The rest, according to charging papers, lined its founder’s pockets. Prosecutors said Bannon and Kolfage alone used more than $1 million in We Build the Wall donations to pay for a boat, a 2018 Land Rover Range Rover, a golf cart, jewelry, cosmetic surgery and other assets.
Kolfage and Badolato pleaded guilty in April 2022. Bannon, who was arrested off the eastern coast of Connecticut on a 150-foot yacht owned by Chinese billionaire Guo Wengui, meanwhile would circumvent liability in the case when Trump pardoned him on his last day in office in January 2021.”
And all without an ounce of accountibility! Amazing! He must own a church or something.
