There was a time when President Trump and Steve Bannon were close allies. Their relationship was a strong one during the election campaign.
Bannon eventually gained a post among the White House staff. He became the White House Chief Strategist. A post he eventually lost after a tumultuous journey.
He had made a promise to fight those opposed to Trump’s agenda. Bannon even dabbled in election races as he supported various candidates.
It appeared that Roy Moore’s loss to Doug Jones also affected their relationship. Bannon had placed his support behind Moore. Trump wanted Moore to win but he didn’t.
Now this new book by Bannon was too much, it may be the final nail in the coffin of their relationship.
Reactions
The book caused quite a stir. It was definitely not appreciated by the White House. A statement was issued and it wasn’t good for Bannon.
“Steve Bannon has nothing to do with me or my Presidency,” the statement said. “When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind.”
Trump also had his lawyer send a letter to Bannon to cease and desist.
The letter read “you have breached the Agreement by, among other things, communicating with author Michael Wolff about Mr. Trump, his family members, and the Company, disclosing Confidential Information to Mr. Wolff, and making disparaging statements and in some cases outright defamatory statements to Mr. Wolff about Mr. Trump, his family members, and the Company.”
