Exclusive: Bannon says I'm sorry [View all]
Source: Axios
Battered by the backlash from Michael Wolff's book, Steve Bannon is trying to make amends with the Trump family, providing a statement to Axios that expresses "regret" to President Trump and praises his son, Donald Trump Jr.
"Donald Trump, Jr. is both a patriot and a good man. He has been relentless in his advocacy for his father and the agenda that has helped turn our country around."
"My support is also unwavering for the president and his agenda — as I have shown daily in my national radio broadcasts, on the pages of Breitbart News and in speeches and appearances from Tokyo and Hong Kong to Arizona and Alabama."
"President Trump was the only candidate that could have taken on and defeated the Clinton apparatus. I am the only person to date to conduct a global effort to preach the message of Trump and Trumpism; and remain ready to stand in the breech for this president's efforts to make America great again."

Bannon's statement goes on to say that his comments about the Trump Tower meeting "came from my life experiences as a Naval officer" and were really aimed at Manafort, who "should have known they are duplicitous, cunning and not our friends."
He reiterates what he said on "60 Minutes": "There was no collusion and the investigation is a witch hunt."
And finally he says he regrets that his "delay in responding to the inaccurate reporting" has distracted from Trump's "historic accompliishments."
