Summary
This document is a scan of pages 32 and 33 from Michael Wolff's book 'Siege', marked with a House Oversight Committee stamp. The text details Steve Bannon's perspective on Donald Trump's political vulnerability leading up to the 2018 midterm elections, citing the Mueller investigation and the Southern District of New York (SDNY) as major threats. Bannon questions the source of Trump's campaign funding given his 'liquidity issues' and advocates for a polarizing political strategy to save Trump from impeachment.
