I assumed he was going to leave on his own as soon as I read that he was going to be reporting to the new chief of staff. People like Bannon don’t operate that way — especially when the chief of staff is a career government employee.
he was out already,decision made, when he gave that interview.i think he is trying to take heat off POTUS. as far as i know he will be available by phone -unofficially - off the record as many presidential advisors have been.
