Former White House adviser Jared Kushner says his onetime colleague, Steve Bannon, threatened to “break [him] in half” if he went “against” him during an argument over the former Breitbart News executive’s leaks to Washington DC reporters.
According to CNN, Mr Kushner made the explosive claim in his forthcoming memoir, Breaking History. The former real estate executive said the threat against him came after he confronted Bannon, who was recently convicted on two counts of criminal contempt of Congress for defying a congressional subpoena, about unflattering leaks he had made regarding then-National Economic Council director Gary Cohn.
