There we are here we go federal prosecutors in the United States of a rest and charged a former senior white house strategist steve bannon he was one of president Donald Trumps most influential advisors during the 2016 Election Campaign the Justice Department is accusing him of conspiracy to commit wire fraud it has to do with a Fund Raising Campaign to support the building of mr trumps wall along the border between the United States and mexico in a moment well speak to our. White house correspondent kimberly. Lets go live now to Gabriel Elizondo outside the courthouse in new york thats dealing with the band in case any sign of him in cool. There has not been any sign of him its been very quiet here at court and part of that can probably be attributed to the fact that were still dealing with corona virus here so a lot of the normal procedures that would normally be taking place just simply arent because of coronavirus so what were told is that bannon is going to be making an appearance in front of a judge here however it appears that it most likely will not be a person its most likely worked will we are told will be some sort of video link which we do not have access to outside however we are set up here of course and should the prosecutors or any of mr bannons lawyers come out to speak we are certainly here to to to bring that information to you this is certainly a big big arrest ban and was arrested in connecticut just to the north of new york city were told that this indictment is with 4 people but bannon is the one that people are most focused on what prosecutors allege essential is that in december of 2018 bennett and 3 other people set up a Nonprofit Organization that was soliciting money to build the border wall between the United States and mexico they called it we the people build the wall they said that all of the funds for this would go to building that wall and as you know many of donald Trump Supporters throughout the year throughout the u. S. Really supported that cause well they got 25000000. 00 in donations from hundreds of thousands of people throughout the United States and elsewhere well and according to the indictment mr bannon funneled more than a 1000000 of that of those dollars for his own personal use which is very much. Illegal and against whatever you set up a Nonprofit Fund such as that so that is why hes arrested hes facing. Corruption charges and fraud charges and we expect to hear more. Faces the judge ok kate thanks very much gabriel is on the reporting live from new york well mr trump was asked about Steve Bannons arrest heres some of what he had to say a little earlier i think its a very sad thing for mr ben and i think its surprising but this was something as you know just by reading social media and by reading whatever it is and by speaking to mike and mike in all of them i didnt like that project i thought that was a project that was being done for showboating reasons i dont know that he was in georgia i didnt know any of the other people either but its its sad its very. Live now to our White House Correspondent kimberly so mr trump kimberley clearly wanting a sense of distance to percolate to the old electorate in the run up to the election distance between him and mr bannon but the reality is mr bannon was kind of the ideological brains behind baby trump candidate trump. Theres no question that where these 2 men connected was the fact that they were antiestablishment they dont have a whole lot in common but it was that one issue that really seemed to click and propel the president s 2016 Election Campaign one that was ultimately successful but their relationship went steve better was in the white house was very short lived just about 7 months and ending on bad terms after he was pushed out steve bannon as chief white house strategist was very critical of the trumpet ministration and particularly Donald Trumps involvement with his children on the perforate of the administration or in the case of a vodka truck being directly involved as an advisor to the president in fact steve baron calling vodka trump dumb as a brick and that is something that dire did not sit well with President Trump so well you heard him talking there about the indictment of steve bevan saying it was sad hes not sad at all about what has happened to Steve Ballmer and what hes referring to is the scheme that steve bad was allegedly operating that he is now stepping charges for in terms of what it did to those that were supportive of President Trump and ultimately were defrauded so this is something that is certain to have a little bit of that will stick on donald trump on the campaign trail but again hes doing his best to try to distance himself so that the White House Communications team is doing as well and almost 4 years on kimberly again today were not getting any revelations to do with mr trumps tax affairs take us through that because this is a complex scenario where one could kind of kick the can down the road back to another court. Yeah this will come said stems from in terms of the latest chapter of the story from a Supreme Court ruling that came down just you know weeks ago and it really was 2 cases melded into one the Supreme Court kind of dividing its opinion with respect to members of congress trying to get president trying to tax returns they said look youre going to have to have something concrete if you want this youre going to have to have a very specific request in other words you cant call it a fishing expedition now what donald trump seems to have as you reacted to this in the oval office is confused that decision with the other part of the Supreme Courts decision involving the case in the Southern District of new york and that kicked it down to the lower court from the Supreme Court basically saying now these lower courts can work their way through this process thats whats happening the u. S. President not winning the latest victory in terms of that that went to the prosecutor in new york in fact the federal judge siding with the new york state prosecutors donald trump the reacting in the oval office once again accusing the fishing expedition when in this case it is not take a listen. This is the ultimate fishing expedition nobody has anything we did we dont do things wrong but theyll say lets go in and inspect every deal hes ever done lets get papers from 10 years every paper every deal hes ever side maybe we can find where some lawyer made a mistake where they didnt dot an eye with it in put a comma down someplace and then we can do something this is a disgrace and this should never ever be allowed to happen again now to be clear those waiting for Donald Trumps tax returns im likely to see them before the u. S. Election in fact donald trump valley to fight this even if it has to go back to the Supreme Court this is something we knew would take a while to work its way through in the midst of all of this with the election now just weeks away the u. S. President continuing his counterprogramming tour as he faces off against the democratic president ial nominee Joe Biden Joe biden accepting that nomination this evening in the United States donald trump trying to get ahead of that message he is set to leave the white house the running behind schedule that he should be leaving any moment to head to joe bidens hometown of scranton pennsylvania an important pennsylvania battleground state donald trump is hoping to win ok kimberly many things can be helped get there reporting live for us here on the news out of washington standing as a side the white house ok as we know the Democratic National convention in full swing in the states lets talk now to christine palosi hes joining us from california she is an attorney democratic strategist and chair of the womens caucus the California Democratic party Christine Pelosi 1st your reaction to the news today about steve benen irony is dead. But the investigation into the trump grifting of america is very much alive steve bannon and donald trump came up with this race a study idea that they were going to build a wall and mexico would pay from the very beginning of Donald Trumps campaign in 2015 he used the wall to symbolize racism he referred to mexicans as rapists and murderers said they werent sending their best people maligning not only all mexicans that all mexican americans and clued in the millions of immigrants who have come to america to make a better life for themselves and who are caring for our families taking our food and in some cases being elected to the highest levels of government so lets be clear about what this is they promised a wall they promised mexico would pay tromp is gripping the taxpayers by taking money from meant for veterans housing and putting into wall construction in defiance of congress ok and the courts and steve bannon is ok being Trump Supporters to try to get money is the banks heres the thing the thing is with our c. N. N. Despite the track record of people who are legally or politically toxic around donald trump put that through the prism of the d. N. C. For me and its this if the d. N. C. Has now come up with a Winning TicketJoe Biden Kamel heris if thats a Winning Ticket despite the reality of that that in a cabal of people around mr trump why is it all the opinion polls are still roughly 5050524846 extension 54 this Winning Tickets coming to us out of the d. N. C. Doesnt apparently get much traction with American Voters not the kind of traction you need if you going to win. Well 1st i want joe bidens 10 points up so im not sure which polls youre looking at but whether its 10 or its 2 were acting like were 10 points behind for a very good reason an incumbent president always has an edge because he has the president ial bag a phone donald supporter to Trump Supporters voted for him knowing that he was racist motive for him knowing that he wanted to stop immigrants from coming to america and voted for him knowing that they werent saying his tax returns even though he promised us they would so we dont and knowing that he was probably making some money off of the presidency so this is something they already know thats not news and just so were clear it isnt the d. M. C. That came up with the ticket its tens of millions of democratic voters around the country who nominated joe biden and when you look at joe biden born in scranton pennsylvania where as you noted President Trump is going today to try to counter. The the lived experience of the by family in scranton i think that these election will come down to a few basic things number one both sides motivating their base and i think most democrats and most republicans know how theyre voting also youll have people who may have given donald trump a chance before but after cold that after the economic collapse and after their lives didnt get better as he promised them they would are now saying well maybe ill give joe biden a chance ok remember joe biden was nominated for the system some of the same reasons obama picked him in 08 and 2012 is to go after these working class voters in america who live in these swing states ok understood lets lets just refocus the optics a little bit youre talking about people knowing what trump was like can i suggest to you that knowing and caring a 2 different thing steve bannon Michael Cohen poll manifold rick gates roger stone Michael Flynn theyve all the the been indicted or the names been in the frame for doing something terribly illegal and the reality is the voters that the democrats have to get to vote democrat they just dont care. Well some of them do and thats why we won the house and 28 teams and won governorships and legislative seats across the country including places where trump has won but i would agree with you thats my thats the initial point that i made myself too they knew what they were voting for and they did it anyway because to a certain extent they felt well thats how you do business in real estate in new york hes an entertainer thats what entertainers do theres always going to be a little bit of grifting off your name i do think its different when that comes smack dab. Confronted with the things that people need now that we need relief now that we need to get our mail from the post office now that there are things that we need from the government that we are not getting because donald trump is not delivering and thats what makes people start to care when it is when it is doesnt affect your life you dont much care about somebodys personal problems or the corrupt people around them but when that corruption the cost of that corruption is you not getting your meds in the mail and that corruption is you not getting the coronavirus test so you go safely back to work or school then youre going to care and thats why you see his numbers dropping and frankly i think thats the challenge for all the candidates right now as they go into the election how can we convince the American People that there is a path forward out of this coronavirus pandemic because no matter who wins the pandemic is still going to be with us and how can we convince people to be a little bit more thoughtful of one another when it comes to wearing a mask getting tested getting trace and not taking risks with your own life or somebody elses thats the kind of Community Vision that joe biden will offer up tonight when he accepts the nomination there is of course an older generation arent he would offer that next week understood but me for interrupting you that there is of course a very much an older generation at the heart of u. S. Politics i mean you know nancy pelosi is not a young woman the combined age of donald trump and. Thats more than 150 years if you and i have this kind of conversation again on november the 4th and i was to ask you how long until we get President Joe Biden replaced by president komla harris do you think itll be too many years 3 years or 4 years. Could be 4 years it could be 8 years but having a running mate who is of a different generation gender and race really balances out the tech and says to young people and particularly to women of color who are black or Asian American or in the team or. Native american there is a place for you in leadership when you look at the House Democratic caucus led by nancy pelosi it is over 60 percent women people of color q there is a new america that is coming forward and being reflected in at the seats of power and nancy pelosi case over 40 women in congress have gavels not just her 18 freshman have gavels thats real thats real power to set an agenda so were looking at isnt just you know the age of the person its the age of their ideas its their flexibility and opening up to new people and its the opportunity theyre giving new people and young people to lead and thats what weve seen this week at this convention not just with kamel harris but with joe biden in conversation with young climate activists with young gun violence prevention activists saying there is room for you in this conversation and we want you to be setting the pace and i think that is. You know those of us who Close Relationships with our elders thats why we love and respect them because theyre giving us their wisdom theyre also giving us mentoring and theyre also passing the torch and this is a real time in america to bring people together and heal as dr jill biden says we must do but also to make sure that the urgent concerns of young people are being met because all over the world young people are looking at the world and the economy that theyve inherited and saying. This seems to me to be a bit of a gift the people who carry top what about my future ok we must leave it there christine policy great to get your thoughts on this evolving situation with american politics Going Forward to the election thank you very much thank you so much. Well president from was dealing with those questions about steve bannon and his taxes as he hosted the new iraqi Prime Minister mustapha card to me they discussed the future of 5000 u. S. Troops are still stationed in iraq u. S. Forces have already started to withdraw from several bases over the past few months we have been taking our troops out of iraq fairly rapidly and we look forward to the day when we dont have to be there and hopefully iraq can live their own lives an
