CNN’s Tapper: Bannon, Lewandowski Are Advising Trump of a ‘Deep State Conspiracy’

‘The campaign is about convincing Trump-friendly media and president himself to make a more adversarial position toward Rosenstein and the FBI’

CNN’s Jake Tapper reveals Steve Bannon and Corey Lewandowski are advising Trump of a ‘deep state conspiracy’ (Raw Story)

CNN’s Jake Tapper broke a story that a small group of “informal advisors” have been talking with President Donald Trump and against chief of staff John Kelly when it comes to special counsel Robert Mueller and the FBI.

The host began his Monday show by recapping that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray were ordered to the White House to divulge the identity of a confidential source of the Trump campaign.

“Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein and Wray were concerned that providing the House Intelligence Committee with information about this source would put the source anonymity and safety at risk, but over the weekend, the president took the unusual step of siding against his own administration,” Tapper continued.
