The purpose of the meeting, as these sources interpreted it, was to push back on recent reports suggesting that Trump’s administration was suffering from chaos and confusion amid internal conflicts, especially between Bannon and Priebus, as well as opposition from officials in other parts of the government.
One source who attended described it as a “Kumbaya meeting.”
