Overview
- 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.

- He is scheduled to stand trial in May in Manhattan for allegedly scheming donors who purportedly gave money towards a border wall.
