NEW YORK (AP) — The co-founder of the “We Build The Wall” project aimed at raising money for a border wall has pleaded guilty to charges in a case that once included former President Donald Trump’s adviser Steve Bannon. The plea Thursday by Brian Kolfage came just weeks before a scheduled trial.

Bannon was pardoned by Trump just before he left office.
