FILE - Former U.S. Air Force veteran and Iraq war double amputee Brian Kolfage, second from right, attends the National September 11 Memorial and Museum's"Salute to Service" tribute honoring U.S. veterans, Nov. 10, 2014 in New York. Kolfage, co-founder of the"We Build The Wall" project aimed at raising money for a border wall, has pleaded guilty, Thursday, April 21, 2022 to charges in a case that once included former President Donald Trump's adviser Steve Bannon.
A guilty plea Thursday by codefendant financier Andrew Badolato, 57, in the case during the same remotely conducted electronic hearing before U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres in Manhattan meant that only one of the four defendants originally charged might go to trial in mid-May. The organizers of the “We Build The Wall” group raised more than $25 million from thousands of donors as they repeatedly pledged that every dollar would be used for the project.
“I knew this was wrong and I’m terribly, terribly sorry for what I did and I humbly beg the court for mercy,” he said.
