Steve Bannon Arrest, We Build The Wall, and Fraud Indictment

Steve Bannon and Brian Colfage were arrested on charges of defrauding donors in the "We Build The Wall" campaign.

Bannon is characterized as a "slimy creep" for his role in the scheme, which involved complex transfers to hide the payments.
