Wall Street banker Cohn moving Trump toward moderate policies. The Trump cabinet has its own weekly far-Right Bible study group. Hugh Urban on the theology of Stephen K. Bannon. Sebastian Gorka likes to be called “Dr. Gorka”; he gets his way only in conservative media. Jeff Stein goes inside the rise of Ezra Cohen-Watnick, Trump’s invisible man in the White House. Meet Keith Schiller, the “most underestimated person on Trump’s team”. Trump’s White House staffers are being treated as celebrities — how new is this?
