A former New York City TV commentator – and now kooky conspiracy theorist – got a private audience with President Trump, according to a published report Friday.
Attorney and QAnon conspiracy theorist Michael LeBron – better known as “Lionel” from his former gig at WPIX – snapped an Oval Office picture with Trump on Thursday and posted it to social media.
The Daily Beast first reported the oddball meeting and said it had reached out to four White House officials, who declined to comment on the weird encounter.
But as the Daily Beast interviewed West Wing officials, two of them couldn’t hold in their laughter.
“This president is a president for all Americans (including conspiracy theorists),” one of them joked.
LeBron posted the Instagram picture of himself and his wife smiling with Trump at the president’s desk.
“There simply are no words to explicate this profound honor,” he wrote.
LeBron is among the web’s leading voices of the pro-Trump QAnon movement – which believes leading Democrats are behind a globalist pedophile cult and are behind Deep State efforts to undermine the president, the Daily Beast reported.
QAnon signs had been commonplace at Trump rallies in recent weeks.
LeBron said on his YouTube channel that Trump personally arranged for this visit and tour.
“Here he is, right now, taking time out speaking to us while the entire Deep State, the swamp, Democrats, Republicans, all of them conspiring in the most bloodthirsty cut-throat movement to remove him,” LeBron said.
The conspiracy theorist, however, said he didn’t bring up QAnon to Trump during their meeting.
“By the way never said anything about Q (to Trump),” LeBron said. “I would never ever want to be known as somebody who would connect the president for something. I think we all know he knows about. Never said it. Never came up.”
