Report: Bannon Was Minutes Away From Blasting Wolff Before Trump Attacked Him
In an interview with Steve Bannon, the former White House Chief Strategist told Wolff that Donald Trump Jr.’s meeting with Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya and several other Russians in Trump Tower was “treasonous” and “unpatriotic.”
Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort also attended the meeting, with the Trumpists there for the explicit reason of obtaining dirt on Hillary Clinton.
“They’re going to crack Don Junior like an egg on national TV,” he added, referencing the ongoing investigation into collusion between the Trump Team and Russia.
After this President Trump reacted and said that Bannon has ‘lost his mind’
He also added:
“Steve was rarely in a one-on-one meeting with me and only pretends to have had influence to fool a few people with no access and no clue, whom he helped write phony books,” Trump said.
Now new report surfaced where reportedly Steve Bannon was just about to attack Michael Wolff for his book Fire and Fury when he decided to put a hold on the plans after President Donald Trump went all out in his criticism of his former staffer, reports CNN. Shortly after the first excerpts of the book were released in which Bannon was quoted as saying that Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., was “treasonous” and “unpatriotic,” the former chief strategist planned to call the book “another lefty hatchet job.”
But then Trump released his own statement saying Bannon had “lost his mind” and the former aide went back on his plans.
“As I said during my interview with 60 Minutes and many times since, there is no basis to the Russian investigation. It’s a political witch hunt orchestrated by the left,” Bannon’s statement was allegedly going to say, according to CNN’s source. “Don Jr., like his father, is a great American and a patriot.
And we all know Don Jr. did not knowingly meet with Russian agents. Paul Manafort is an independent actor who clearly put his own interests ahead of the campaign and all involved. Michael Wolff took my remarks about Don Jr. out of context to sell his book.
Sadly, this is yet another lefty hatchet job intended to disrespect our President and his supporters.”
Do you belive in this or you think this is just a cover up from Bannon after all the bashing he got from Trump’s supporters!
