Controversial White
House chief strategist Steve Bannon’s final day working in the West Wing
is Friday. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders issued a statement
to the press pool describing the move as a mutual decision between
Bannon and White House chief of staff John Kelly earlier in the day.
“White House chief of staff John Kelly and Steve Bannon have mutually agreed today would be Steve’s last day. We are grateful for his service and wish him the best,” Sanders said.
The official word from the White House came after a slew of reports about Bannon’s departure. According to a New York Times report published shortly before Sanders’ statement, President Trump “told senior aides that he has decided to remove” Bannon. ABC News and other outlets reported that Bannon had already resigned.
Both the White House and Bannon failed to immediately respond to multiple requests for comment from Yahoo News.
Prior to the Times report, the conservative journalist Matt Drudge, who enjoys a close relationship with the White House, declared on Twitter that Bannon’s time in the West Wing was coming to an end.
