SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Aug 20 –
The Southern District of New
York courthouse, which Inner
City Press has covered nearly
alone this summer amid the
COVID-19 pandemic, was jumping
on August 20. Video here.
In the afternoon, Steve Bannon
would appear in person before
a judge.
The U.S.
Attorney's Office had
announced "the unsealing of an
indictment charging BRIAN
KOLFAGE, STEPHEN BANNON,
ANDREW BADOLATO, and TIMOTHY
SHEA for their roles in
defrauding hundreds of
thousands of donors in
connection with an online
crowdfunding campaign known as
“We Build the Wall” that
raised more than $25
million. The defendants
were arrested this
morning. KOLFAGE will be
presented today before U.S.
Magistrate Judge Hope T.
Cannon in the Northern
District of Florida.
BANNON will be presented today
in the Southern District of
New York. BADOLATO will
be presented today before U.S.
Magistrate Judge Thomas Wilson
in the Middle District of
Florida. SHEA will be
presented today before U.S.
Magistrate Judge Kristen L.
Mix in the District of
Colorado. The case is
assigned to U.S. District
Judge Analisa Torres in the
Southern District of New
York."
The question
arose: would Bannon's
presentment be in person,
either before on-duty
Magistrate Judge Stewart D.
Aaron, or District Judge
Torres? Or like another
defendant in chains the day
before, would Bannon be held
with the Marshals?
It emerged
that it will be in-person,
some time after 3 pm. Watch
this site.
This case is
called US v. Kolfage et al.,
20-cr-412 (Torres).
