Timothy Shea’s sentence was the longest imposed over the “We Build the Wall” campaign, which federal prosecutors said raised more than $25 million from hundreds of thousands of donors.
In sentencing Shea, 52, U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres said he helped his co-defendants launder looted donor funds through shell companies, even as they claimed all the money was going to build the wall, and kept $180,000 for himself.
Bannon was criminally charged last September by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg with state law violations arising from the wall campaign.
Bannon pleaded not guilty and faces a trial next May 27. Presidential pardons do not cover state prosecutions.
