- Schilling, 53, was among 13 advisory board members for group
- Board included leading Republican and conservative figures
Former major league pitcher Curt Schilling is among the prominent conservatives on the advisory board for “We Build the Wall”, the online fundraising organization that was alleged by federal prosecutors Thursday to have defrauded donors of funds gathered to construct Donald Trump’s border wall.
One-time Trump campaign manager Steve Bannon was among four men indicted by a federal grand jury in Manhattan on Thursday for working to “defraud hundreds of thousands of donors” in relation to the group, prosecutors said in a statement. Brian Kolfage, Andrew Badolato, Timothy Shea were also named in the alleged scheme to defraud the non-profit, which authorities said raised more than $25m.
