If Bannon violates his probation in the next three years, he could face up to four years behind bars.
A Case That Wouldn’t Die
Bannon’s legal woes date back to his 2020 federal indictment, where he and others were accused of pocketing funds meant for the border wall project. While Trump’s pardon wiped Bannon’s federal slate clean, Bragg picked up the case on state charges, ensuring it wouldn’t be buried.
Now, with the plea deal in place, a scheduled March 4 trial is off the books. The government was represented by Daniel Passeser, Michael Frantel, and Jeffrey Levinson from the New York County DA’s Office, alongside Gregory Morril of the New York Attorney General’s Office.
The Final Word?
While Bannon may have sidestepped a jail cell, the deal places a legal landmine beneath his feet. A single misstep could see him behind bars— and in New York’s eyes, his name is now synonymous with fraud.
