Bannon has been treading on thin ice since the publication of Michael Wolff’s book last week.

Steve Bannon is stepping aside from his position as executive chairman of Breitbart News.

“Bannon and Breitbart will work together on a smooth and orderly transition,” the site said on Tuesday.

Bannon returned to Breitbart News in August, after his high-profile departure from the White House, where he served as a key advisor to President Trump.

He’s been under fire since last week, when excerpts from Michael Wolff’s new book, Fire and Fury, began appearing. Bannon is quoted heavily in the book, and is critical of the Trump family.
