NEW YORK — Stephen K. Bannon is expected to surrender to state prosecutors on Thursday to face a new criminal indictment, people familiar with the matter said, weeks after he was convicted of contempt of Congress and nearly two years after he received a federal pardon from President Donald Trump in a federal fraud case.

The precise details of the state case could not be confirmed Tuesday evening. But people familiar with the situation, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sealed indictment, suggested the prosecution will likely mirror aspects of the federal case in which Bannon was pardoned.

In that indictment, prosecutors alleged that Bannon and several others defrauded contributors to a private, $25 million fundraising effort, called “We Build the Wall,” taking funds that donors were told would support construction of a barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, which handles state-level prosecutions, has been evaluating Bannon’s alleged involvement in that scheme since shortly after Trump pardoned him, The Washington Post reported in February, 2021. Presidential pardons only apply to federal charges and cannot prohibit state prosecutions.

Things finally caught up with him. Wonder if any of the "Build the Wall" money he stole is left after all the legal fees he's been paying?

Too bad, so sad.

25. Except it's Alvin Bragg

Maybe since he let Trump off the hook and took a lot of flak he is trying to get his popularity back up?

[hamsterjill]

Will we ever see this asshole behind bars?

[SCantiGOP]

7. Think Biden will pardon him?

[Frasier Balzov]

18. I don't think Biden can even if he wanted to.

Seeing as it's a NY State indictment.

[PJMcK]

20. NYS indictment

Governor Hochul would have pardon authority not President Biden. Bannon shouldn’t count on her to pardon him.

That means that TFG or another Rethug crony won't be able to give him a pardon if they ever occupy the White House again.
