Steve Bannon Faces Legal Peril Over Unpaid Legal Fees and Border Wall Fund Fraud

Access to Bannon's financial records could reveal evidence bolstering the case against him, as he is due to stand trial in May.

Steve Bannon, former White House senior adviser, is facing legal troubles due to unpaid legal fees and potential fraud related to border wall donations.
Bannon's former law firm, Davidoff Hutcher & Citron LLP, is suing him for over $480,000 in unpaid retainer fees.
The law firm's access to Bannon's bank accounts and documents could potentially reveal information that could affect his criminal cases associated with funds supposedly accrued for a privately funded wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Bannon is alleged to have defrauded thousands of people who donated about $15 million to the 'We Build the Wall' fundraising campaign.
He is scheduled to stand trial in May in Manhattan for allegedly scheming donors who purportedly gave money towards a border wall.
