iMessage hints at Steve Bannon arranging meetings with Trump, Putin and Viktor Orbán in June 2018
iMessage hints at Steve Bannon arranging meetings with Trump, Putin and Viktor Orbán in June 2018 The excerpt references a private chat where the sender proposes a dinner with Steve Bannon in Paris and suggests Bannon could meet the President, Vladimir Putin and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. If accurate, it points to a possible back‑channel coordination among high‑level political figures, offering concrete dates, locations and participants that merit verification. The lead is specific enough for follow‑up (June 22‑28, Paris/Vienna) but lacks corroborating evidence, keeping the score below blockbuster level. Key insights: Message mentions Steve Bannon as “very close to the President” and “working closely with Victor Orban”.; Proposes Bannon’s presence at a dinner in Paris on 22 June 2018 and possible travel to Vienna 23‑28 June.; Reference to “Kurtz important. As he will host trump and Putin” suggests a planned meeting involving Trump and Putin.
