Donald Trump ally Steve Bannon will stand trial beginning Dec. 9 on charges he defrauded donors to an online effort to raise money for a wall along the U.S. southern border.

During a brief hearing on Tuesday, prosecutors said they would take three to four days to present evidence. Defense attorneys expected their case to last two days.

Bannon, who is currently serving a federal prison sentence for contempt of Congress, did not attend the hearing.

    Quick reminder that Trump pardoned Bannon for the federal charges he faced for this scam. So Trump was 100% on board with Bannon telling people he was going to take their donations to build a border wall and then pocket the money.

    It astonishes me that anyone is a Trump supporter.
