Former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon said there was "zero" chance that President Trump was not aware of a controversial 2016 meeting at Trump Tower between one of his sons and a Russian lawyer, according to a new book.
According to MSNBC, which tweeted an excerpt from Michael Wolff's upcoming book, "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," Bannon said that it was likely Donald Trump Jr. took lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya and others up to his father's office during the meeting.
The chance that Don. Jr did not walk these Jumos up to his fathers office on the 26th floor is zero," the excerpt reads.

We may have to hear from Bannon himself but Trump just absolutely flamed him in a four paragraph screed. I think it is safe to say that Bannon choose poorly if he decided to take on the President.
F) Someone is making up some bullsh*t and foolish people are running with it.
I don’t see how Bannon thinks this is productive in any way.
Well, if the Breitbart website is any indication, he's certainly not denying any of it (to say the least).
That's a head scratcher. Brietbart is only reporting Trump's statement.
One would think that any response from Bannon would be up on Brietbart by now.
I smell the reeking stench of FAKE NEWS.
If were to take everything said in a book as fact then can we investigate Hillary and the Clinton foundation based on Peter Schweitzers book ?Clinton Corruption?
And this is where the smell is coming from.
That appears to be true, so why would he deny it? Now whether or not the quotes in that book are things Bannon actually said, would be interesting to find out.
So far I have yet to hear any evidence convincing me this claim is true.
so Trump or someone in his employ met with the Russians to find out what Hillary was colluding with them about?
And I care why?
No, there are two Steve Bannon's:
Of course, to most people who only see Mainstream Media, Doppelganger Bannon is the real one.
But I've never been able to confirm that.
I doubt Trump would’ve reacted as he did had Bannon not made those remarks.
I don’t know what is true or false about Bannon’s claims.
But I guarantee that Bannon has just shot himself in the mouth. This is crazier than the charges against Roy Moore. Hasn’t Bannon learned that crazy doesn’t win?
Is Bannon tired of winning and now wants to lose?
He will no longer be the one to lead anything in 2018. Distance yourself from this guy.
bannon was always out for bannon, and the bannon worship here at FR was idiotic.
he probably lost the alabama senate seat on purpose. now, all we can do is pray that people snap out of their delusion before he can inflict any more damage on the republican majority in the senate — upon which DJT’s success (not to mention reelection) relies.
I am not buying it that Bannon is trying to trip up POTUS.
Maybe I am just naïve.
I suspect that things are being taken out of context, interpreted liberally, and/or just fake. Who is this co-author, and what are his political leanings.
JMHO
not me. I might be really unhappy, but I wouldn't be dead. I'm too well armed.
Slight chance they are playing off of each other... It wouldn’t be the first time Trump did something like this.
DO NOT VOTE FOR RINOS IT ONLY GETS YOU MORE RINOS.
I suspect that things are being taken out of context, interpreted liberally, and/or just fake.
We need to hear from Bannon about it. Still nothing on Breitbart.
DO NOT VOTE WITH BANNON IT ONLY GETS YOU PRO-ABORTION LIBERAL DEMOCRATS -- THE SAME GUYS THAT HIJACKED YOUR HEALTH CARE.
Jr’s meeting was a big fat nothing burger.
