(AmericanProsperity.com) – After years of fighting an uphill battle against a clearly weaponized legal system, former Trump strategist Steve Bannon has pleaded guilty to fraud charges in the “We Build the Wall” case.
In a Manhattan state court, Bannon was forced to admit to a low-level felony charge of scheme to defraud.
The move was part of a plea deal that allowed him to avoid jail time, but it came with strict conditions.
For the next three years, Bannon must avoid legal trouble and is barred from fundraising or holding positions in New York charities.
The “We Build the Wall” campaign, which raised over $20 million to support President Donald Trump’s vision for border security, faced intense scrutiny from liberal prosecutors.
While Bannon’s lawyer maintains he did not personally profit, the case has become a lightning rod for political controversy.
Bannon, ever defiant, characterized the prosecution as “political persecution” and vowed to continue fighting for conservative causes.
He urged investigations into Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and New York Attorney General Letitia James, both Democrats who have targeted Trump and his allies.
Bannon warned, “Letitia James is the existential threat to the Trump administration.”
The case against Bannon began after a federal prosecution was halted by President Trump’s pardon in 2021.
Critics argue that liberal prosecutors in New York, led by Bragg, pursued charges against Bannon to score political points and undermine conservative efforts to secure the border.
Bannon’s legal team suggests the plea deal was a strategic move, considering the potential outcome of a trial in a heavily Democratic area.
The agreement resulted in the dropping of more serious money laundering and conspiracy charges, highlighting the weakness of the prosecution’s case.
While Bannon faces restrictions on his activities, he remains an influential voice in conservative circles.
His dedication to the MAGA movement and commitment to securing America’s borders continue to resonate with millions nationwide.
Cases like Bannon’s serve as a stark reminder of the ongoing battle between conservative figures and liberal overreach.
The increasing politicization of the justice system by the left is a cause of concern for all Americans who believe in fair and equal treatment under the law.
