Bannon said the Trump campaign viewed Stone as an "access point" to WikiLeaks.

When asked about how Stone would talk about his relationship with WikiLeaks and Assange, Bannon said, "I wouldn't call it bragging but maybe boasting. One day after Bannon was publicly announced as the new head of the Trump campaign, Stone sent Bannon an email offering his advice on how to make up the major polling deficit Trump was facing.
