Steve Bannon, a former adviser to President Donald Trump, and three other organizers involved in an online fundraising campaign to build a private wall on the U.S.–Mexico border were arrested this week for allegedly defrauding investors.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) stated on Aug. 20 that Bannon, Brian Kolfage, and two others were accused of funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars from the “We Build the Wall” campaign.
