Grimm denounces Bannon over anti-Trump book
Congressional candidate says he fully supports President
The fallout over the blockbuster book about the Trump White House by writer Michael Wolff has reached all the way from Washington, D.C. to Brooklyn, where it is shaking up a local congressional campaign.
Former Republican U.S. Rep. Michael Grimm, who is running to regain his old seat representing the 11th Congressional District (Bay Ridge-Southwest Brooklyn-Staten Island), is distancing himself from former chief White House adviser Steve Bannon.
In the wake of the release of excerpts from Wolff’s book “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,” in which Bannon is quoted as unleashing a torrent of criticisms against President Donald Trump, his son Donald Trump Jr., his daughter Ivanka Trump and his son-in-law Jared Kushner.
