While conservative strategist Steve Bannon is serving a four-month federal prison term, he’s got another trial coming up. A New York state judge on Tuesday set a December trial date for the conservative strategist. He is charged in New York with scheming to con donors who gave money to build a border wall, and he has pleaded not guilty. Bannon, who’s a longtime Donald Trump ally, wasn’t in court Tuesday. He’s in a federal penitentiary in Connecticut after being convicted of defying a congressional subpoena related to the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
