Bannon Is A Time Bomb For Trump

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon was arrested Thursday after being charged with defrauding hundreds of thousands of dollars through his “We Build The Wall” funding campaign.

The White House issued a statement saying that President Trump has not been involved with Steve Bannon since the past election campaign and since the early part of the administration and the president does not know the people involved with this project.

Bannon was arrested on a yacht owned by his friend, Guo Wengui, a Chinese billionaire, a controversial figure with his own history of legal entanglement.

This is very sad to say, but after Trump became president there have been many of his associates and close assistants who have gone to jail. Steve Bannon could be one of them. These people are using their influence and power to create their own wealth.

Corruption is everywhere. Like ex-president Chan who was put in jail after his presidency. The case made headlines in the western media. In South Korea many of their former presidents were also put in jail because of corruption.

We are living in such a critical time. The people in power do have the opportunity to use their position and turn to corrupt activities. Fortunately, we have an independent judicial system to watch for and deal with all these crooks.
