Former White House strategist Steve Bannon has left his job as executive chairman of Breitbart News and will no longer host a radio show at SiriusXM Holdings Inc. after feuding with President Donald Trump over remarks in a new book.
The White House has pressured its allies to cut ties with Bannon after his remarks in the book “Fire and Fury” by Michael Wolff became public last week. He lost the support of the Mercer family, Republican mega-donors and his closest financial patrons, after Trump spoke with Rebekah Mercer by phone.
