Former President Donald Trump’s strategist Steve Bannon surrendered to Manhattan prosecutors Thursday morning to face state criminal chargesin a new indictment stemming from the border wall fraud case.
Bannon, with his usually unruly mane of grey hair neatly combed back, emerged from the back of a black SUV outside the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office at 1 Hogan Place, where he was greeted by a crowd of reporters and protesters.
He was not in handcuffs but was escorted by police.
Bannon’s arrest comes a year-and-a-half after he received a presidential pardon from Trump on his last day in office, sparing him from being prosecuted on federal charges related to the fraud.
