NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. prosecutors on Friday warned a co-defendant of Steve Bannon, an architect of President Donald Trump's 2016 election, to avoid social media posts that could undermine a corruption trial tied to Trump's effort to build a wall along the Mexican border.
In a letter to a federal judge in Manhattan, prosecutors said Brian Kolfage's "steady stream" of often "highly inflammatory" posts about the case created a substantial risk that pretrial publicity could make it hard to find an impartial jury, and a gag order might be needed if it continued.
