President Trump’s chief strategist Steve Bannon has become increasingly isolated inside the White House following the ascension of John Kelly as chief of staff, sources inside the White House and outside advisers tell Fox News. “I like Mr. Bannon, he’s a friend of mine,” Trump said, while downplaying his impact in the 2016 campaign. Axios reported that Trump has told “close associates” he believes Bannon is behind leaks about White House colleagues. It could have saved his job," one White House official told Fox News. The Times reported Bannon “is in trouble” with Kelly as well.
