A New York judge has set a December trial date for Steve Bannon, a former White House strategist who is facing charges of scheming to con donors who gave money to build a border wall.

Judge April Newbauer issued a trial date of Dec. 9 in the “We Build the Wall” case. Mr. Bannon was excused from attending the July 23 hearing because of his incarceration.
