NEWS: Steve Bannon will be leaving the White House today
President Donald Trump told senior aides on Friday that Bannon would no longer serve his administration, according to the New York Times and several other news outlets.
The details of exactly when and how this decision will be rolled out were not immediately clear.
In a statement, the White House said “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.”

WATCH: Steve Bannon gave an ‘astonishing’ interview to a liberal magazine. Why?
I just…. color me skeptical.
Miller and Gorka are still in the White House – so it’s not because of Bannon’s racist views.
Steve Bannon (Steven BANNON?!?) failed to say this is “off the record” so soon after Scaramucci’s meltdown and its fallout?
Steve Bannon called an MSM, but much less LIBERAL(?!?) magazine’s reporter to drop his nonsense out there into the world? That seems to give him a lot of room to deny or minimize the insults he directed to the alt-right.
All together it just seems like Bannon fell on a foam sword for Trump. With Kelly in the White House, I’m sure he’s feeling like he could do a lot more outside the administration.
