US President
Donald Trump's lawyers have written to his former strategist Steve
Bannon, saying he has violated a non-disclosure agreement.
The cease-and-desist notice accuses Bannon of defaming the president in speaking to author Michael Wolff.
Wolff’s forthcoming tell-all book describes the president as being unprepared for the job.
Trump responded by saying Bannon had "lost his mind" after losing his white house position.
His lawyers said Bannon had broken his
employment agreement by speaking to Wolff about trump and his family,
"disclosing confidential information" and "making disparaging statements
.
According to New York magazine, which
first published the extracts, Wolff was able to take advantage of the
trump administration's political inexperience to gain an unusual amount
of insight.
Wolff said he was able to take up
"something like a semi-permanent seat on a couch in the west wing"
following the president's inauguration.
