- Former Donald Trump adviser Steve Bannon plans to plead guilty in a deal with New York state prosecutors to resolve fraud charges connected to fundraising for a U.S. southern border wall and allow him to avoid any prison time, legal trade publication Law360 reported.

The report cited a defense attorney for Bannon, John F. Carman. "It is anticipated that Mr. Bannon will plead guilty tomorrow under an agreement with the district attorney and the court that he will not receive a sentence that includes any jail time," Carman was quoted as saying.

Neither Bannon's defense lawyer nor a spokesperson for the Manhattan district attorney's office immediately responded to requests for comment from Reuters.
