Oh, man, what a day. We started out with a story saying Steve Bannon had called President Trump’s family members “treasonous” for meeting with a Kremlin-connected lawyer, and asserting Trump must have known about the meeting. Then Trump blasted Bannon in an official statement, saying Bannon had lost his mind, never helped Trump, and was good for nothing but feeding phony stories to the journalists he pretended to hate. Now, this:

Lawyers on behalf of President Donald Trump sent a letter Wednesday night to former White House Chief Strategist Stephen Bannon demanding he refrain from making disparaging comments against the president and his family.

The letter comes after excerpts from a forthcoming book by journalist Michael Wolff were made public Wednesday, causing a stir.

Trump attorney Charles J. Harder of the firm Harder Mirell & Abrams LLP, said in a statement, “This law firm represents President Donald J. Trump and Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. On behalf of our clients, legal notice was issued today to Stephen K. Bannon, that his actions of communicating with author Michael Wolff regarding an upcoming book give rise to numerous legal claims including defamation by libel and slander, and breach of his written confidentiality and non-disparagement agreement with our clients. Legal action is imminent.”

There isn’t enough popcorn in all of Orville Redenbacher’s kingdom to last us through the epic battles to come.
