Steve Bannon, a top ally of former President Donald Trump, plans to turn himself in on Thursday, according to a person familiar with the matter.
NEW YORK — Steve Bannon, a top ally of former President Donald Trump, said Tuesday that he expects to be charged soon in a state criminal case in New York City.
In a statement, Bannon said District Attorney Alvin Bragg “has now decided to pursue phony charges against me 60 days before the midterm election,” accusing the Democratic prosecutor of targeting him because he and his radio show are popular among Trump’s Republican supporters. “It didn’t work then, it certainly won’t work now,” the former White House strategist said. “This is nothing more than a partisan political weaponization of the criminal justice system.”
