Steve Bannon, former chief strategist to the President of the United States, has separated from the right-wing media outlet Breitbart following disagreements stemming from the publication of the book "Fire and Fury." In the book "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" by Michael Wolff, Bannon made harsh comments against Donald Trump Jr., the son of the U.S. President. Bannon is quoted in the book stating that the meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian lawyer during the 2016 election campaign was 'treasonous' and 'unpatriotic.' Currently, committees in the U.S. Congress and a group in the FBI are conducting investigations into Russia's 'interference' in the U.S. election process. Moscow has denied the allegations of election interference. President Trump reacted to Bannon's statements by saying that Bannon has 'lost his mind.' The U.S. President has also made severe criticisms of the book, describing it as 'fake.' White House officials have confirmed in recent days that Bannon's statements in Wolff's book have angered Donald Trump. On January 7, Bannon stated that his comments were not related to Trump Jr. but were about Paul Manafort, the former campaign manager for Donald Trump. Bannon, who once managed Donald Trump's campaign, was a close advisor to Trump. Before joining Trump's campaign, he managed the right-wing media outlet Breitbart. After Trump's victory, he was appointed as the chief strategist at the White House. However, his tenure in this position was not long, and he resigned at the end of August. After leaving the White House, he returned to Breitbart and had been active in the organization for the past five months.
