NEW YORK (Reuters) – A U.S. judge has dismissed an indictment accusing Steve Bannon, who was once an adviser to former President Donald Trump, of defrauding donors in a scheme to build Trump’s signature wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres in Manhattan said dismissal was “the proper course” in light of a pardon that Trump gave Bannon just before leaving the White House.
