Steve Bannon, Former Trump Adviser, Allegedly Stole Funds for Private Border Wall Plagued by Erosion

President Trump's former campaign CEO and White House adviser, Steve Bannon, is his sixth close associate to face criminal charges by the Department of Justice. Bannon and three others are accused of defrauding donors to We Build the Wall, a private effort to build a wall along the Mexican border, and redirecting funds to fund their own lavish lifestyles. "Democracy Now!" follows the money and looks at how an investigation last month showed a private wall project the funds were used for is already eroding and could be in danger of falling into the river. "Democracy Now!" speaks with Perla Trevizo and Lexi Churchill, two reporters at the ProPublica-Texas Tribune investigative unit.
