Conservative columnist: Bannon 'used to leak against' Trump

BY REBECCA SAVRANSKY - 10/16/17 08:45 AM EDT

Former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon reportedly used to leak information against President Trump.

During an interview on MSNBC, New York Times columnist Bret Stephens was asked about Bannon's recent comments going after Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.).

Bannon said over the weekend that the Tennessee Republican has "trashed" the commander in chief of the country's armed forces while there are young men and women in harm's way.

Stephens said what Corker did in coming out against President Trump is the "epitome of patriotism." Corker is sounding "an alarm bell as loudly as he can" that the commander-in-chief is unfit to the hold his office, Stephens said.

"It's particularly funny, by the way, coming from Bannon, who himself used to leak against the president when he was in the White House," Stephens said.

"It's another example of the hypocrisy of the guy."
