The Deep State, also referred to as a state within a state, is a body of influential people that are members of government agencies or the military, believed to be involved in the secret manipulation or control of government policy. The term was originally coined to refer to a relatively invisible state apparatus in Turkey "composed of high-level elements within the intelligence services, military, security, judiciary, and organized crime", believed to be entrenched inside the government, bureaucracy, intelligence agencies, and other governmental entities. These people are known to be the shadow government that controls state policy behind the scenes. Some of the most known Examples of the Deep State include The Steele Dossier, NSA Surveillance, Republicans against Republicans, and the Vows to Thwart the President’s Agenda.
