An associate of Steve Bannon was sentenced on April 26 to prison time for defrauding Americans with a border wall fundraising scheme.

Brian Kolfage and Andrew Badolato, another associate, were sentenced by U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres in federal court in New York City for their involvement in a scheme that solicited donations purportedly for building barriers at the U.S.–Mexico border but that were actually stolen and used for personal items.
