Steve Bannon Accuses Trump WH Officials of Leaking to MS NOW: 'The Biggest Enemy'

Source: MEDIAite

Jul 15th, 2026, 5:35 pm


Former Trump White House advisor turned MAGA-world podcaster Steve Bannon accused Trump administration officials of leaking details about President Donald Trump’s Thursday night national address to MS NOW, which Bannon still calls “MSNBC.”

Longtime pro-MAGA writer John Solomon, who is working as “special government employee” in the Trump administration, spoke to Bannon on Wednesday about Trump’s upcoming announcement, which will reportedly focus on repeating his baseless claims of election fraud in 2020. Reports have said Trump will go so far as to call Georgia Sens. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) and Raphael Warnock (D-GA) illegitimate.

While discussing the claims in the media about Trump’s remarks, Bannon fumed, “But you can tell with MSNBC, let’s be blunt — senior members of the Trump White House — and MSNBC has already framed this.”

“They’ve been given this 72 hours in advance. They’ve framed this now. It’s disinformation, it’s lies. You see, Vaughn Hillyard wrote… all of them are already saying — not even seeing the evidence, not even seeing what has come up — ‘it’s lies, it’s disinformation.’”

because they tell the truth about trump. Anyone with a brain could have figured out what trump is up to, and MS Now has been hammering trump for the last couple of days about this evening's anticipated spew of lies about elections.

It's not even clear if the white house (under construction) even formally requested the air time. Also, I think some democratic sites like Really American and Occupy Democrats have been announcing the lack of a change in scheduling.

Blatant false narratives and propaganda used to create hysteria among the throngs of cult members.

. . . I hate to break it to you but if Trump says it really is lies and bullshit.

In fact, Trump is better than you at spreading the bullshit.
