From The Hill: Bannon planned to blast Wolff book as a 'lefty hatchet job': report
The book sparked a feud between Bannon and Trump after the president responded to the excerpts by saying Bannon has "lost his mind."
Aside from praising Trump Jr., Bannon also took aim at Wolff in the original statement.
"Michael Wolff took my remarks about Don Jr. out of context to sell his book. Sadly, this is yet another lefty hatchet job intended to disrespect our President and his supporters."
"As I said during my interview with '60 Minutes' and many times since, there is no basis to the Russian investigation. It's a political witch hunt orchestrated by the left," the statement reads.
