After serving as a director of the Rule of Law Foundation and attending two meetings, Gong Xiaoxia believed there were issues with the foundation's accounts, subsequently resigned from her position as a director, and raised questions to Bannon.
At a press conference, Bannon announced that Guo Wengui would donate $100 million to establish the Rule of Law Fund, and the two subsequently pushed for the fund's establishment.
Michael Wolff published Fire and Fury, which disclosed Bannon's criticisms of the Trump family; Trump subsequently attacked Bannon publicly, and Rebekah Mercer cut ties with Bannon.
While seeking political asylum in the United States, Guo Wengui was introduced to an interview with journalist Bill Gertz; after learning of his situation, Bannon met with Guo Wengui and established contact.
