This document is a scanned excerpt (pages 36-37) from Michael Wolff's book 'Siege,' bearing a House Oversight Bates stamp. It details Steve Bannon's strategy to delay the Mueller investigation by urging President Trump to fire Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and assert retroactive executive privilege. The text recounts Bannon leaking this plan to journalist Robert Costa to influence the President, Trump's subsequent interaction with Jared Kushner regarding the plan, and Trump mocking Kushner's cautious response. Note: While the prompt identifies this as 'Epstein-related,' the visible text focuses exclusively on the Trump administration and the Russia investigation, with no direct mention of Jeffrey Epstein.
