Chinese Mogul Funneled Millions to Bannon, Fox, Gettr, Docs Show
An indicted Chinese businessman pumped millions of ill-gotten dollars into the bank accounts of some of the most influential figures in MAGA World—including former Trump aides Steve Bannon and Jason Miller—according to a raft of documents filed in federal court in February.
The materials represent an effort by the court-appointed trustee in the bankruptcy case of Guo Wengui, the self-styled billionaire and anti-Chinese Communist Party crusader, to recover money that Guo allegedly transferred as part of a “fraudulent scheme” to hide wealth from his creditors.
Guo has long bankrolled Bannon and Miller’s post-White House endeavors—even as critics accuse the former construction tycoon of serving as a covert double agent for Beijing—and the feds allege he swindled more than $1 billion from China’s dissident diaspora.
