Steve Bannon, longtime ally of former President Donald Trump, surrendered on Thursday to face money laundering and conspiracy charges by the state in New York, claiming he deceived donors who gave money to build a wall on the US-Mexico border. Bannon is scheduled to stand trial on Thursday afternoon.

Prosecutors say that while Bannon promised donors that all the funds they contributed would go toward building the wall, he engaged in diverting hundreds of thousands of dollars to two other individuals involved in the scheme.

The indictment does not name these individuals, but the details match those of Brian Kolfage and Andrew Badolato, who pleaded guilty to federal charges in April.

Bannon's state-level charges in New York stem from the same alleged conduct as the federal prosecution that was abruptly halted before trial when Trump pardoned Bannon on his last day in office.
