Steven Bannon pleads guilty to scheme to defraud in border wall fundraiser, avoids jail time

Steve Bannon, a longtime ally of President Donald Trump, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to a charge that he defrauded donors who gave money to a private campaign to build a wall along the U.S. southern border.

Bannon was sentenced to three years conditional discharge but will avoid jail time as part of a plea agreement.

When reporters asked Bannon how he felt as he left the courtroom, he responded: ‘Like a million bucks.’

Bannon’s lawyer told reporters outside the court that there was no way his client could get a fair trial.
