Bannon’s on‑record interview sparks internal White House drama and ties to Blackstone’s Stephen Schwarzman

Bannon’s on‑record interview sparks internal White House drama and ties to Blackstone’s Stephen Schwarzman The passage mentions a private conversation between Steve Bannon and political operative Kuttner that may have influenced personnel decisions, and it links Bannon’s circle to Stephen Schwarzman and a White House business council that was reportedly being disbanded. While the details are anecdotal and lack concrete dates or documents, the names involved (Bannon, Trump, Schwarzman, McMaster) and the reference to a council collapse provide a moderate investigative lead worth corroborating. Key insights: Bannon allegedly called Kuttner in an on‑record interview, possibly affecting a staffer's fate.; Stephen Schwarzman (Blackstone) was scheduled to appear on TV for a business council that Trump announced was being disbanded.; Murdoch, McMaster, and an unnamed ‘Sheldon’ were said to have pressured Trump to remove Bannon.

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.
