Steve Bannon out: Trump ‘decides to fire chief strategist’

‘Donald Trump has told aides he has decided to remove Steve Bannon from his post as chief White House advisor after seven contentious months in the West Wing. It is unclear when Mr Bannon will leave 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, however.
Mr Bannon initially joined Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign one year ago, and gained notoriety – deservedly, or not – for his high profile role at the tail end of a campaign that ultimately shocked analysts with Mr Trump’s surprise electoral win. Mr Bannon is a former executive at the right-wing media outlet Breitbart.
The outgoing White House advisor reportedly gave his resignation to Mr Trump on August 7. That resignation was supposed to go into effect on August 14, exactly a year to the day that he joined Mr Trump’s team.
The White House later confirmed that Mr Bannon was leaving the administration, effective at the end of the day Friday.’
