Steve Bannon and three others were arrested and charged on Thursday (20/8) local time. Former Donald Trump strategist, They are charged with fraud related to hundreds of thousands of donor funds in the campaign to raise funds for the Mexican border wall.

He was released on $ 5 million bail.
The arrests are the latest in a series of criminal investigations of high-ranking figures in Trump's inner circle, and come just months before the November vote, in which Republicans hope to win re-election.
