Steve Bannon reportedly faces a new set of criminal charges and will surrender to New York authorities on Thursday.
According to a report Tuesday evening in The Washington Post, the ex-adviser to former President Donald Trump likely will be indicted in state court for conduct similar to a federal charge for which Mr. Trump pardoned him.
“The precise details of the state case could not be confirmed Tuesday evening,” the Post acknowledged.
But, citing “people familiar with the situation,” the Post reported that the charges relate to fraud counts in the “We Build the Wall” case.
A spokesperson for Mr. Bannon told the Post that the “phony charges” from New York were “nothing more than a partisan political weaponization of the criminal justice system.”
