    Trump says ex-aide Steve Bannon has lost his mind

    Former White House aide Steve Bannon “lost his mind” after he lost his job at the White House, US President Donald Trump has claimed.

    The president disavowed Mr Bannon after he was quoted in a new book describing a meeting between Mr Trump’s son and a group of Russians as “treasonous”.

    The Russians had offered Donald Trump Jr damaging information on Hillary Clinton at the June 2016 meeting.

    Mr Bannon’s quote appears in a new book by journalist Michael Wolff.

    “Steve Bannon has nothing to do with me or my presidency. When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind,” Mr Trump said in a statement on Wednesday.

    “Steve was a staffer who worked for me after I had already won the nomination by defeating seventeen candidates, often described as the most talented field ever assembled in the Republican party,” he continued.

    “Now that he is on his own, Steve is learning that winning isn’t as easy as I make it look.

    Steve Bannon was fired as President Trump’s top White House strategist

    “Steve had very little to do with our historic victory, which was delivered by the forgotten men and women of this country.”

    Mr Bannon, the president’s former chief strategist, was considered a key player in the Trump White House and helped shape Mr Trump’s “America First” campaign message before he left his post in August.

    The president’s comments came hours after the explosive new book, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, revealed that Mr Bannon called Mr Trump Jr’s meeting “treasonous” and “unpatriotic”.

    Speaking to the author, Mr Wolff, Mr Bannon said of the investigation into whether there was any collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign: “They’re going to crack Don Junior like an egg on national TV.”

    Emails show Mr Trump Jr agreed to meet Russian associates in June 2016 on the premise that they had damaging information against his father’s Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton.

    The meeting was also attended by Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and aide, and then campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

    Mr Bannon reportedly told Mr Wolff that the three senior campaign officials “should have called the FBI immediately” after the meeting, according to US media reports.

    The Senate, House of Representatives and a special counsel are all investigating alleged Russian interference in the presidential election and alleged attempts to undermine Mrs Clinton – a claim denied by the Kremlin.

    Mr Trump has also vehemently denied any collusion.

    White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders described the book as “filled with false and misleading accounts from individuals who have no access or influence with the White House”.

    “Participating in a book that can only be described as a trashy tabloid fiction exposes their sad desperate attempts at relevancy”.
