Sen. Angus King (I-Vt.) said on Thursday he agreed with recent comments from former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon saying Donald Trump Jr. should have reached out to the FBI after the meeting with the Russian lawyer was proposed to him in 2016.

"I don't usually agree with Steve Bannon, but the idea that they should have immediately called the FBI is absolutely accurate," King told CNN's Chris Cuomo on "New Day."

"You clearly can say it was a serious mistake, a serious lack of judgment," he said, referring to the meeting.

King's comments come after Bannon was quoted in author Michael Wolff's new book documenting the Trump White House, as saying Trump Jr.'s meeting with a Russian lawyer in exchange for negative information on then-Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton was "treasonous."
