Former Donald Trump campaign strategist Steve Bannon will go on trial in New York next May on state charges that he defrauded contributors to a fund to build a wall on the US-Mexico border.
Bannon’s criminal trial will follow that of the former president, on unrelated charges, in quick succession and in the run-up to next year’s presidential election, in which Trump is seeking to regain the White House.
