Trump leaves top strategist’s future in limbo: ‘We’ll see’
NEW YORK — President Donald Trump is saying “we’ll see what happens” with top strategist Steve Bannon.
The president refused to express confidence in Bannon during an impromptu news conference Tuesday.
“He’s a good person. He actually gets very unfair press in that regard,” Trump said. “But we’ll see what happens with Mr. Bannon.”
Bannon was a key general election campaign adviser and has been a forceful but contentious presence in a divided White House. The former leader of conservative Breitbart News has drawn fire from some of Trump’s closest advisers, including son-in-law Jared Kushner.
