Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon will now face trial in New York starting March 4, following a delay from the originally scheduled date of February 25. Judge April Neubauer granted the postponement after questioning Bannon about his decision to switch legal representation in a Wednesday hearing.
“I’ve been smeared by a political prosecution — persecution — for years, and I need someone who’s a little more aggressive,” Bannon stated during the hearing, according to the Associated Press. “I need every tool in the toolbox.”
Judge Neubauer, while agreeing to the delay, warned, “Well, every tool in the toolbox does not include delaying the trial.”
Bannon faces charges stemming from allegations that he promised donors that contributions to the “We Build the Wall” campaign would be used exclusively for constructing a border wall. Launched in 2018, the campaign raised over $20 million and financed the private construction of several miles of fencing along the southern border. The Manhattan District Attorney’s office, led by Alvin Bragg, claimed that Bannon defrauded donors. Bannon has denied the allegations.
Bannon made the decision to change his legal representation after Newbauer’s ruling last November to allow certain evidence to be presented to jurors. The evidence brought by prosecutors includes an email in which Bannon allegedly expressed concerns about the campaign being “a scam,” according to the Associated Press. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
