steve bannon back in court this morning for a status conference in the case brought by the manhattan district attorney s office. they allege that steve bannon and his co-defendants defrauded donors in an effort to build the wall. he said they told donors 100% of the money would go to the construction instead prosecutors say bannon and the others took hundreds of thousands of dollars. bannon pleaded not guilty to multiple counts of money laundering, fraud and conspiracy. the judge is going to bring in bannon s attorneys because he just got new attorneys after his prior attorney resigned citing ir irreck sighable differences. so the judge is going to see where they are in terms of the discovery process for bannon s lawyers. we expect the judge to set a motion schedule and a trial date for this case.
