Democrats have reported one of the most controversial advisers to US President-elect Donald Trump to the FBI over having received illegal payments prior to the 2016 presidential election.
The Democratic Coalition Against Trump reported the notorious white supremacist, Stephen Bannon, to the FBI on Tuesday, saying he broke the campaigning finance law by receiving $950,090 from the pro-Trump super PAC Make America Number 1., reported Politicus USA on Wednesday.
Bannon’s appointment to chief strategist and senior counselor to the president has outraged high-profile Democrats as well as human rights activists.
He formerly served as the New York billionaire’s campaign chairman and head of the extremist right-wing Breitbart News website, which ties to white nationalism.
The group said in a statement that the money was paid to Bannon’s company, Glittering Steel LLC.
