Jonathan Swan: “Friends and allies of Steve Bannon had been warning him for weeks to lay off Jared Kushner — telling him that President Trump would turn against him if he kept publicly attacking the son-in-law.”
“What we’re hearing: Tommy Hicks, a Trump campaign fundraiser and the chairman of the favored pro-Trump outside group America First Policies, relayed a message from the White House to Bannon to ‘knock it the fuck off’ or else Trump would blow him up.”
“Some of Bannon’s closest allies are urging him to still issue such a statement and make peace with Trump and his family. Bannon is resisting. He’s quite like Trump in this respect: he views any apology or admission of error as a sign of weakness. But it may be the only way to preserve some sort of a political future for himself.”
