I read that the WH did not respond immediately, giving Bannon time to do so, Bannon finally had a statement ready to release saying what he said was taken out of context, then Trump went after him, so Bannon just said forget it.
‘I read that the WH did not respond immediately, giving Bannon time to do so’
Where did you read this?
I am sure Bannon is preparing a defamation/slander law suit against Wolff and Bannon’s lawyers told him to shut up.
