for defrauding donors to a Mexico border wall fundraising campaign, has said he is the victim of a"political hit job".
"I'm in this for the long haul. I'm in this for the fight. I'm going to continue to fight," he said on Friday on his podcast, Bannon's War Room."This was to stop and intimidate people that want to talk about the wall. This is to stop and intimidate people that have president Trump's back on building the wall."
Bannon, who is credited with orchestrating Donald Trump's 2016 presidential bid, on Thursday denied one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and another of conspiracy to commit money laundering.Prosecutors said the online crowdfunding campaign known as"We Build the Wall" raised more than US$25 million, which the defendants promised would go towards construction of a southern border barrier but siphoned off instead.
With the presidential election coming up in November, Trump looked to put distance between himself and his former adviser on Thursday.
