- Steve Bannon is stepping down from Breitbart News.
- Bannon faced pressure to leave following the publication of explosive comments he made about President Donald Trump and his administration.
Steve Bannon will step down as the executive chairman of Breitbart News, an outlet long seen as one of the most sympathetic to President Donald Trump, the organization said in a statement.
The New York Times reported on Tuesday that the right-wing antagonist was forced out by conservative megadonor Rebekah Mercer, a major financial backer of the former White House political strategist and the site.
Bannon faced blowback last week over criticisms of Trump's children and administration in author Michael Wolff's new book, "Fire and Fury," earning a rebuke from Mercer and many top Trump allies. He apologized on Sunday, but the White House signaled it did not accept that apology on Monday.
