Trump’s Lawyers Sent Steve Bannon a Cease-and-Desist Letter
Steven Bannon signed a nondisclosure agreement while working for Donald Trump’s campaign, but apparently he’s not listening to it anymore seeing as he’s made defamatory comments about working for him in an upcoming book by journalist Michael Wolff called Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.
Now, Trump’s lawyers are serving Steve a cease-and-desist letter.
“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,” Trump attorney Charles J. Harder of Harder Mirell & Abrams LLP said in the statement cited by ABC.
“Legal action is imminent,” he added.
In the book, Steve suggests that a meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian lawyer was “Treasonous.”
“When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind,” Trump said, blasting his former chief strategist, who he dismissed as merely “a staffer” who had come on after Trump had already secured the Republican primary nomination.
