Video shows heated Oval Office meeting
While it is not
clear what the discussion was about, Bannon was filmed in an animated
conversation and at one point was spotted waving his arms around.
Ivanka Trump, Jared
Kushner and Sean Spicer were spotted in the background of the
footage.
Trump had accused
his staff of fumbling the situations with Sessions after the attorney general
recused himself from all FBI investigations regarding Russia on Thursday.
Is it Legal to spy
on the President and shoot video through the window without is knowledge? And is it legal to make it public?
AND THIS ONE:
UPDATE:
WASHINGTON — The F.B.I.
director, James B. Comey, asked the Justice Department this weekend to
publicly reject President Trump’s assertion that President Barack Obama
ordered the tapping of Mr. Trump’s phones, senior American officials
said on Sunday. Mr. Comey has argued that the highly charged claim is
false and must be corrected, they said, but the department has not
released any such statement.
Mr. Comey, who made the request on Saturday after Mr. Trump leveled his allegation
on Twitter, has been working to get the Justice Department to knock
down the claim because it falsely insinuates that the F.B.I. broke the
law, the officials said.
A
spokesman for the F.B.I. declined to comment. Sarah Isgur Flores, the
spokeswoman for the Justice Department, also declined to comment.
Mr.
Comey’s request is a remarkable rebuke of a sitting president, putting
the nation’s top law enforcement official in the position of questioning
Mr. Trump’s truthfulness. The confrontation between the two is the most
serious consequence of Mr. Trump’s weekend Twitter outburst, and it
underscores the dangers of what the president and his aides have
unleashed by accusing the former president of a conspiracy to undermine
Mr. Trump’s young administration.
