The Washington Post no longer stands by its account of White House chief strategist Steve Bannon personally confronting Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly last week ― an incident the White House says never took place. “It’s a patently false, made up story,” White House press secretary Sean Spicer told The Huffington Post. The Post appended an editor’s note to the column Saturday morning acknowledging that Rogin only approached DHS and not the White House. On Saturday evening, the Post significantly updated Rogin’s column, which noted that “two sources” had said Bannon visited Kelly that day. Spicer insisted there was no confrontation between Bannon and Kelly over the green card issue, in person or otherwise.
