WASHINGTON • Steve Bannon, a one-time top strategist for former President Donald Trump and recipient of a presidential pardon, is expected to surrender to New York authorities Thursday to face a new indictment, a person familiar with the matter said.

Bannon in 2020 was accused in federal court of defrauding donors to a fund to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, but that indictment was dismissed after he was pardoned in the final hours of Trump’s presidency.

The new indictment is for state criminal charges that may mirror parts of the earlier federal case, though it is unclear because the indictment is still sealed, the person said.

A spokeswoman for the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office declined to comment.

Bannon issued a statement Tuesday night, after the Washington Post first reported the new indictment.

“This is nothing more than a partisan political weaponization of the criminal justice system,” Bannon said in the statement.

He said Manhattan federal prosecutors did the same thing in August 2020 to try to take him out of that year’s election.

“It didn’t work then; it certainly won’t work now,” Bannon said.
