President Donald Trump distanced himself from his former chief strategist Steve Bannon on Wednesday, contending that "he not only lost his job" but also "lost his mind" when he left the White House.
On Wednesday, excerpts from an upcoming Michael Wolff book showed that Bannon called a June 2016 meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian lawyer "treasonous" and "unpatriotic."
This is breaking news. Please check back for updates.

On FR, Townhall posts are epidemic while this bombshell has been ignored ALL morning, replaced with dull headlines and old news.
I miss FR.
I hate this.
F U Bannon and no more Breitbart.
I will always love Andrew though.
It is a known fact. That is why he was fired.
I’ve noticed the onslaught of TH posts, as well.
I put TH just below The Hill.
After seeing the author and publisher for this book. I’m thinking someone’s trying to gin up a game of let’s-you-and-him-fight.
So Bannon was the lying leaker. After all that.
I guess I’ll never be too jaded to be shocked around here.
Um. Where was Bannon the night Andrew had his heart attack...
10-4 General.
If it originates from CNN, Washington Post, or MSNBC, you can pretty much DISREGARD it as FAKE NEWS propaganda.
Steve Bannon cares about Steve Bannon’s agenda. Briefly, it was sort of congruent with Donald Trump’s agenda, but quickly veered into a sort of fever swamp of its own.
Steve Bannon may yet make his way back to civilization, but if it shall be in time to make a sufficient impact upon the elections of 2018, is still a little too soon to tell. First he may have to sign a peace treaty with Trump World.
Note how this is phrased. Quotes around individual wirds, not sentences. And the context is who knows what.
Yeah, I mistakenly thought this was a tweet. If it wasn’t, source trumps words here someone.
There were rumors a little while ago that Bannon was considering a run for President against Trump in 2020.
I wonder if he does think of himself as more important than he really is?
Not comparing on the same moral plane, but Bannon was to Trump what Che Guevara was to Fidel. One was a real revolutionary who believed in the real transformational purpose of their revolution only to be disillusioned and sent away because the road to the ‘end game’ became too disconnected for either to accept in harmony.
Drudge has had it in for Bannon for the past 6 months for some reason ... Drudge is definitely driving this wedge
But to who(m)?
The White House press corps?
I’m not buying into this at this point.
I’ll be waiting to see how it actually plays out.
CNBC, the worst of the worst...
This doesn't even sound like Trump. It is constructed in complete sentences.
Bannon didn’t disavow. He said he was taken out of context. So what, it would be crucial to know, is the proper context for calling an immanently legal, entirely innocent meeting, “treason,”?
Lost his mind?…maybe
Selling books?…definitely
