Bannon described Trump Organization as 'criminal enterprise', Michael Wolff book claims
The former White House adviser Steve Bannon has described the Trump Organization as a criminal entity and predicted that investigations into the presidents finances will lead to his political downfall, when he is revealed to be not the billionaire he said he was, just another scumbag.
The startling remarks are contained in Siege: Trump Under Fire, the author Michael Wolffs forthcoming account of the second year of the Trump administration. The book, published on 4 June, is a sequel to Fire and Fury: Trump in the White House, which was a bestseller in 2018. The Guardian obtained a copy.
In a key passage, Bannon is reported as saying he believes investigations of Donald Trumps financial history will provide proof of the underlying criminality of his eponymous company.Assessing the presidents exposure to various investigations, many seeded by the special counsel Robert Mueller during his investigation of Russian election interference, Wolff writes: Trump was vulnerable because for 40 years he had run what increasingly seemed to resemble a semi-criminal enterprise.He then quotes Bannon as saying: I think we can drop the semi part.
In Siege, Wolff quotes Bannon saying investigations into Trumps finances will cut adrift even his most ardent supporters: This is where it isnt a witch hunt even for the hard core, this is where he turns into just a crooked business guy, and one worth $50m instead of $10bn.
Not the billionaire he said he was, just another scumbag.
