Already in the spotlight over mail-in voting concerns, the U.S. Postal Service drew a different kind of attention when its inspectors arrested Steve Bannon, the former chief strategist for President Donald Trump, on mail fraud charges.

The service’s inspections unit confirmed on Thursday that it had carried out the arrests of Bannon and three other men for allegedly misusing funds from a group that raised more than $25 million to help pay for a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
