Steve Bannon's secret planning whiteboard accidentally revealed
The contents of Steve Bannon's secret planning whiteboard have been revealed.
Mr Bannon, who is President Trump's chief strategist, writes down his thoughts and priorities on the board.
Now, they have been revealed thanks to Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, a Jewish author who went to meet Mr Bannon.
The Rabbi got his picture taken with the Trump advisor, but the whiteboard was in view of the camera.
He then posted the photograph on Twitter.

There is much written on the whiteboard about immigration policies.
Two parts which stand out are: "new extreme vetting," and "Build the Border Wall and eventually make Mexico..."
Mr Bannon has ticked policies which have been addressed by President Trump.
However, other ideas appear more ambitious, and have not yet been put in the process of being carried out.
