Steve Bannon’s go-to funder Guo Wengui just got indicted for fraud

Some call him Miles Guo. Others call him Guo Wengui. To top Trump allies like Steve Bannon and Jason Miller, he is an ally and a business partner. But, to federal authorities, he is an alleged felony fraudster. On Wednesday, the FBI arrested Guo on 12 counts of felony fraud in New York. It marks another remarkable chapter in the bizarre saga of Guo, who has gone from a fugitive Chinese billionaire to a key figure on the MAGA right. His organization, the New Federal State of China, was a major sponsor of the Conservative Political Action Conference this year.

⚖️ Bannon misses out on "Club Fed"

Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon is set to serve time in a low-security federal prison in Danbury, Conn., instead of at one of the cushiest facilities that are known as "Club Fed," CNN reports.

• Bannon is required to report by July 1 to begin a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress.

Between the lines: He's not eligible for the lowest level of prison — minimum security — because he "still has a pending criminal case against him in New York," the network notes.

• In that case, he's being prosecuted by Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, who won convictions of former President Trump.

Bannon could end up at Rikers Island in New York while he's on trial.
