The term ‘deep state’ refers to the idea that there is a shadowy group of influential people, typically embedded within official agencies, who are manipulating government policy.

It has been pushed by the likes of President Donald Trump, who previously laid out a 10-step plan to ‘dismantle the deep state’.

Sceptics have dismissed the idea as paranoid fantasy, but Greenwald, who has a track record of breaking big stories, pointed to Schlesinger’s memo as evidence of the concept.
