Internal Trump White House Power Struggle Involving Bannon, Jared Kushner, and Former Goldman Sachs Executive Stephen Cohn
Internal Trump White House Power Struggle Involving Bannon, Jared Kushner, and Former Goldman Sachs Executive Stephen Cohn The passage outlines alleged behind‑the‑scenes maneuvering among senior White House figures—Bannon, Kushner, and a former Goldman Sachs trader (Stephen Cohn)—including claims of staff appointments, dismissal of economic council expansion, and personal rivalries. While it names high‑profile actors and suggests potential patronage and influence‑peddling, it lacks concrete dates, transaction details, or verifiable documents, limiting immediate investigative action. Nonetheless, the mention of a possible Goldman‑Sachs link to the NEC and the role of a transition team member could merit follow‑up with staff records and financial disclosures. Key insights: Stephen Cohn, a former Goldman Sachs trader, was slated for a senior White House role (chief‑of‑staff‑in‑waiting) and possibly to lead the National Economic Council.; Steve Bannon allegedly blocked Cohn’s plan to expand the NEC by up to 30 positions.; Jared Kushner reportedly blocked Bannon’s plan to have David Bossie lead his staff.

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.
