Lawyers on behalf of President Donald Trump sent a letter Wednesday night to former White House Chief Strategist Stephen Bannon demanding he refrain from making disparaging comments against the president and his family.

The letter comes after excerpts from a forthcoming book by journalist Michael Wolff were made public Wednesday, causing a stir.
Trump attorney Charles J. Harder of the firm Harder Mirell & Abrams LLP, said in a statement, "This law firm represents President Donald J. Trump and Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. On behalf of our clients, legal notice was issued today to Stephen K. Bannon, that his actions of communicating with author Michael Wolff regarding an upcoming book give rise to numerous legal claims including defamation by libel and slander, and breach of his written confidentiality and non-disparagement agreement with our clients. Legal action is imminent."

More like they've gone full retard.
“Bannon is not only ugly and unkempt looking.. he’s a traitor.”
Dead on.
A wrong move. There is no requirement that anyone speak well of the president at all times. Unless a breach of contract is involved this is over-kill and will only fuel more anti-Trump sentiment.
Personally, I believe Trump loves this stuff in the news. He seems to want the press chasing gossip while he gets other work done. His next book will be the Art of the Distraction.
Everyone of us has a past.
Does it always make the man?
To me, the past doesn’t matter when real action shows something entirely different.
A man’s CHARACTER also comes through via his ACTIONS.
Talk is CHEAP. Deeds, not words, have more meaning.
Donald Trump’s actions speak volumes; and they are the MOST conservative actions we have seen in our modern times.
Not some conservative presidential actions, but MOST.
The most. We never get perfection, but we have gotten far closer than ever before.
You’re one ignorant twit. And obviously a GOPe/Bush hack. Get lost.
I mean much better that list than being on oh say, the list of Presidents of the United States, which is probably the fourth list of succession of historical importance up there with the emperors of Rome, the monarchs of England and the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt.
Me, too!! I nicknamed it....Shakin' it to the Libs!!
I want to post that to EVERY lib, everywhere!
The GOPe/Bush hacks are really coming out on FR today. Here’s another one exposed as an ignorant twit ready to jump on the MSM/GOPe/’Rat Resist Trump train.
Get lost.
Whoops. I missed where this was claimed in the Wolff toilet paper ream. I have read “cease and desist” letters. That was not done by any competent legal team. Not even a file clerk would send that out as a legit notice.
Same anti-Trump carp we heard, nonstop, from the NeverTrumper/Jeb/Mailman sycophants, during the campaign.
They try to disguise their NeverTrumpism as 'worry' and 'concern'. 😱
I've never heard of that. Given what leaked from past administrations I doubt that there were any such agreements. And if so, that they were enforceable.
Wait, what?!
Ad-hominem attack does not become this site.
I posted that because I thought we could discuss it here. I strongly support Trump regarding this thing. That is why I posted that. I’d like to collectively discuss how it may be legit and how it may be fake news. You see, I argue this stuff with liberals all over the internet. If I just say the article is stupid and all lies, I look like a fool. So I wanted to get some “useful” feedback from others here.
The lengthy letter to Wolff and Henry Holt and Co. Inc. goes on to accuse the author of actual malice.
It states, “Actual malice (reckless disregard for the truth) can be proven by the fact that the Book admits in the Introduction that it contains untrue statements. Moreover, the Book appears to cite to no sources for many of its most damaging statements about Mr. Trump. Also, many of your so-called ‘sources’ have stated publicly that they never spoke to Mr. Wolff and/or never made the statements that are being attributed to them. Other alleged ‘sources’ of statements about Mr. Trump are believed to have no personal knowledge of the facts upon which they are making statements or are known to be unreliable and/or strongly biased against Mr. Trump.”
Harder sent a similar letter to former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon Wednesday night demanding he cease and desist from making allegedly false statements against the president and his family.
Bannon has not responded to ABC News’ request for comment. Wolff and his publisher have also not responded.
These NeverTrumper/GOPe people, as Rush Limbaugh has stated, are of no use to the Conservative Movement or to the Republican Party and what it supposedly stands for.
They are to be ridiculed and shunned.
And that’s exactly what I intend to do at every opportunity - ridicule and shun them.
This legal action will go nowhere.
