Prosecutors claim that Kolfage, Bannon, Andrew Badolato and Timothy Shea took money for themselves as the campaign raised upward of $25 million. At that point, prosecutors said, Bannon and Badolato worked on creating the nonprofit We Build the Wall Inc. The stated goal was then changed to using the money to privately construct the wall, and past donors had to agree to have their money used for that purpose. Bannon and the other defendants were each charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
