On July 22, 2025 — the very day High Stakes Treason was published — Ian Trottier appeared on Steve Bannon's War Room to break down the book's most explosive findings.
In this interview, Trottier walks Bannon through the core allegation: that former CIA Director John Brennan had knowledge of terrorists entering the United States before the Boston Marathon Bombing, and that this knowledge was deliberately sequestered for personal financial gain.

Brennan's Intelligence Monopoly. Trottier explains how Brennan, as Obama's Homeland Security Advisor for Counterterrorism, created a monopoly over terrorist threat intelligence through the NCTC — giving him the power to control what intelligence the FBI and CIA could see.
The Stock Scheme. Brennan illegally held stock in The Analysis Corporation (TAC), a counterterrorism contractor. Each successful terror attack increased congressional counterterrorism spending, which increased the value of Brennan's stock — from $50,000 to $4.85 million.
The Boston Marathon Connection. NSA signals intelligence on Tamerlan Tsarnaev was placed into TS/SCI Codeword Compartment files controlled by a single NCTC analyst, preventing the FBI from acting on the threat.
Trottier returned to War Room two days later for a deeper dive into the evidence.

Steve Bannon's War Room is one of the most influential political programs in conservative media. Trottier's appearance on publication day — the same day President Trump stated in the Oval Office that Barack Obama was "guilty" of treason — gave the book immediate national visibility.
The interview helped establish High Stakes Treason as a serious, evidence-based work — not a partisan hit piece, but a documented case drawing on SEC filings, White House visitor logs, and open-source intelligence.
The complete evidence is in High Stakes Treason — 430 pages of documented analysis.
