...................

Bannon, a former White House senior adviser, has pleaded not guilty to several charges of money laundering, conspiracy and scheming to defraud in connection with $15 million in donations a "We Build the Wall" fundraising campaign received.

The trial at the New York Supreme Criminal Court was originally set to begin on May 27 by Judge Juan Merchan. However, the judge, who is also presiding over Trump's hush-money trial, which is expected to last several more weeks, has delayed the start of Bannon's proceedings until September, senior Courthouse News reporter Josh Russell first reported....................................



.................Bannon was previously charged in an almost identical federal investigation before being pardoned by Trump hours before the then-president left office in January 2021.

Manhattan prosecutors revived the investigation in September 2022 with state-level charges against Bannon, which are not covered by presidential pardons................................
