On Sunday night, New York magazine reported that in the summer of 2015 Steve Bannon orchestrated the writing of an immigration-policy white paper for a nascent Donald Trump campaign, incorporating contributions from fired Trump aide Sam Nunberg and right-wing pundit Ann Coulter. (At the time, Bannon was not officially part of the Trump campaignwhich was then managed by Corey Lewandowskibut stayed in close contact as a chief media ally and as The Daily Beast reported late last year privately joked in emails that he was Trumps campaign manager.) The policy paper made big headlines in 2015 as the first signs of an actual, hardline-nationalist immigration plan from Trump. When Team Trump released it, Coulterwho did not publicly acknowledge a roletweeted it was the greatest political document since the Magna Carta.

Two Trump advisers with direct knowledge of the subject told The Daily Beast on Monday that Stephen Miller, now President Trumps senior advisor for policy, also contributed notes that Bannon then incorporated that summer into a finished product. (This was also before Miller was officially aboard the campaign.) One source said that "Steve [Bannon] took upon himself because he didn't want the campaign to fall apart" to edit together the project because the campaign was still a skeleton at the time and it didn't really have people to do policy stuff.
