Kris Kobach wants to access bank accounts belonging to a charity that’s building a wall on the United States-Mexico border and whose principals are under indictment for fraud so he can pay himself legal fees, court records show.
Federal prosecutors in New York asked a judge on Tuesday to reject an attempt by Kobach, who is the general counsel for the We Build the Wall charity, to lift a restraining order placed on three of its bank accounts.
