Former Donald Trump campaign strategist Steve Bannon pleaded not guilty to being part of an alleged crowd funded border wall scam Thursday - hours after he was arrested at sea aboard a superyacht owned by a Chinese billionaire. Bannon appeared in federal court in Manhattan to answer charges of defrauding hundreds of thousands of people as part of a group pledging to use private donations to build a section of border wall. At his hearing Thursday afternoon, Bannon, 66, had his hands cuffed in front of him while a large, white mask covered most of his face. He was still wearing his distinctive two shirts.

..."The four men were indicted for allegedly using hundreds of thousands of dollars donated to an online crowdfunding campaign called We Build the Wall for personal expenses, among other things. Bannon and another defendant, Brian Kolfage, promised donors that the campaign, which ultimately raised more than $25 million, was "a volunteer organization" and that "100% of the funds raised...will be used in the execution of our mission and purpose," according to the indictment unsealed Thursday.
But instead, according to prosecutors, Bannon, through a non-profit under his control, used more than $1 million from We Build the Wall to "secretly" pay Kolfage and cover hundreds of thousands of dollars in Bannon's personal expenses"...
