Trump was pissed at both of them,Pence and Bannon and told them they had to work that weekend and could not go with him to Florida.
.....................
President Donald Trump was outraged Friday over Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ recusal from investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 campaign, according to media reports.

Trump hauled his key advisors into the Oval Office on Friday afternoon before he departed for Palm Beach, Florida, and went “ballistic” over Sessions’ recusal, ABC News reported, citing senior White House sources.

Sessions held a press conference the previous day to announce his recusal, acquiescing to growing, bipartisan calls to do so following revelations that he had not disclosed during his confirmation process that he had met with the Russian ambassador twice last year during Trump’s election campaign.

Sessions said he had not met with Russian operatives to discuss Trump’s campaign, and said he could not remember much of what he had discussed with the ambassador.

Trump was “fuming” about the news on Friday, telling his aides Sessions shouldn’t

Ahhh yes. That dust up !. I don't recall Pence or Bannon being complicit in that. I walked away thinking Sessions acted prematurely and should have checked in with da Boss.

I can imagine Pence playing by Queensberry rules and agreeing with Session's decision, but not Bannon.

I have my doubts about Trump being upset over a Sessions recusal, and especially at being upset with Bannon and/or Pence over a decision that rests mostly with Sessions.

And if Trump was angry, it was, IMO, more likely to have been "angry with the circumstances" or "angry with the rules" than "angry with Sessions." Plenty of things happen that merit anger, but are "just the way things are," often properly so.
