Trump's former adviser had wanted his trial on conspiracy, fraud and money laundering charges moved into the new year.

A judge Tuesday set Feb. 25 as the start of Bannon's trial on charges related to alleged money laundering, conspiracy and a scheme to defraud. The case stems from Bannon's alleged role in an organization that raised millions on the promise — during Trump's first term in office — that they would privately build a wall along the U.

A New York judge on Monday postponed ex-Trump White House adviser Steve Bannon's state trial on fraud charges until late February. Why it matters: Bannon, who was recently released from prison, is facing charges for allegedly duping donors who gave money to his "We Build the Wall" campaign during President-elect Trump's first term in the White House.

Conservative strategist Steve Bannon won't face trial until February on state charges of conspiring to dupe donors to build a border wall, a judge said Monday as prosecutors asked for the jury to be anonymous.
