Hogan Gidley says he doesn’t “believe there’s any way back for Mr. Bannon at this point.” He adds that Trump’s criticism of Michael Wolff’s book “Fire and Fury” still stands, saying, “it was obvious that the book was false and fake.”
Gidley spoke to reporters Monday aboard Air Force One as Trump traveled to Nashville, Tennessee.
Bannon — Trump’s former chief strategist — is trying to make amends for comments that appeared in the book. He issued a statement praising the president’s eldest son Sunday, and says he regrets not having released it sooner.
