STEVE BANNON/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon remains in frequent contact with President Donald Trump weeks after leaving his administration job, Mr. Bannon told a private lunchtime gathering Tuesday [9-12-17] in Hong Kong.
Mr. Bannon said he talks to Mr. Trump every two to three days, and that the pair last spoke the previous night for an hour, according to two people who attended the closed-door meeting with the former presidential adviser. The gathering, at a Grand Hyatt hotel restaurant, included a group of about 20 money managers.
Mr. Bannon wasn’t immediately reachable for comment.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters on Monday that she thought Mr. Bannon had spoken with the president once since leaving his role in the administration.
The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on Mr. Bannon’s remarks.”
