GET ME REWRITE!! Judge sentences Trump allies in "We Steal Your Money" scheme

 
Yet another Trump-approved scam

HeadlineNew York Times, 4/26/2023

Prosecutors wrote that Mr. Kolfage spent money on a luxury S.U.V., a golf cart and home renovations and “demonstrated no remorse or regret.” He had falsely claimed, prosecutors added, that he was being punished for supporting Mr. Trump. 
“He used his carefully crafted public facade to steal from hundreds of thousands of individual donors who trusted him,” they wrote. “He then viciously and publicly attacked members of the press and public who questioned his trustworthiness or integrity.” 
Mr. Kolfage had promised that all donations would go toward a border barrier. Behind the scenes, prosecutors said, Mr. Badolato and Mr. Bannon agreed to pay him an initial $100,000, plus $20,000 per month.
