Steve Bannon Considered the Trump Towers Meeting 'Treasonous'
Former chief strategist Steve Bannon is quoted by Michael Wolff calling a meeting Donald Trump, Jr. had in New York City with a Russian lawyer during the campaign "treasonous."
Bannon was referring to a June 2016 meeting Trump Jr. had along with Jared Kushner, then campaign chairman Paul Manafort and Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya at Trump Tower.
"The three senior guys in the campaign thought it was a good idea to meet with a foreign government inside Trump Tower in the conference room on the 25th floor – with no lawyers. They didn't have any lawyers," said Bannon, according to Wolff.
"Even if you thought that this was not treasonous, or unpatriotic, or bad s---, and I happen to think it's all of that, you should have called the FBI immediately."
