Trump pardons his former adviser, Steve Bannon

CNN reported on Wednesday morning that outgoing President Donald Trump decided to pardon his former adviser, Steve Bannon, in a last-minute decision hours before he left office.

The network reported that Trump said that after much deliberation, he decided to pardon Bannon as one of his last actions in office.

Bannon was charged last year with defrauding Trump supporters in connection with a fundraising campaign to support the construction of the border wall Trump promised to build between the United States and Mexico.
