forgotten, june 2016, manafort in the room, jared kushner in the room, meeting with russian connections who promised dirt on hillary clinton. the president said there was no collusion. mueller s team is going to want to know what is behind those comments. i have to imagine if steve bannon has any knowledge that someone then went and shared the information from that meeting with trump himself and what else he knew about the backdrop of that. obviously bannon has been around for a lot of these various gyrations, whether it was what happened with flynn that ultimately led to his firing. he was working for the president when he fired james comey. he wasn t consulted on that decision based on our reporting what was happening at that time. a lot of turning points that we imagine mueller is focusing on, steve bannon was not necessarily in the center, but he was around, he was in the orbit. there is certainly a lot of information you can glean from him on that. i think the fact he issued a s

republicans want to get done for what s going on internally certain establishment leaders and the white house. how do you interpret all of that? well, look, i think it s the case the president always keeps close the aides pushed out of the white house and kept out of the white house in first place, corey liewandowski and steve bannon, steve bannon is still in regular contact with the president. it s not really clear to me yet, chris, kind of where the president himself stands on this civil war. obviously bannon is running candidates against people that the president has technically endorsed or backing. on the other hand, the slated candidates in the bannon group right now, if you can call it that, are not exactly kind of a homo geneis group, remember, the
