Jared Kushner Describes Steve Bannon's Threats: 'I Will Break You in Half'....

In another incident, Kushner said Bannon exploded at him after he spoke to the press at the behest of former White House Chief of Staff Reince Preibus.

"How f—ing dare you leak on me? If you leak out on me, I can leak out on you 28 ways from Sunday," Bannon reportedly said to Kushner.

Kushner described a culture in which Bannon repeatedly leaked information to the press, which "single-handedly caused more problems for me than anyone else in my time in Washington."

He said that it was so pervasive that when Bannon was fired by Trump in August of 2017, former Trump adviser Stephen Miller joked that they would split up Bannon's workload by giving Kushner and former White House Communications Director Hope Hicks each an outlet to leak information to.

Despite the "war" that Kushner described Bannon waging on him in the White House, Kushner said he still felt obligated to help Bannon secure a presidential pardon before Trump left office. Bannon had been charged with defrauding donors as part of a fundraising campaign related to Trump's border wall.

"[Bannon] probably leaked and lied about me more than everyone else combined. He played dirty and dragged me into the mud of the Russia investigation," Kushner wrote. "But now that he was in trouble, I felt like helping him was the right thing to do."

Kushner said that even Trump was shocked he didn't oppose the idea, asking his son-in-law, "Seriously? You would really be for that? After everything he did to you?"

Bannon was eventually granted a pardon in a last-minute decision made just hours before Trump left the White House for the last time.
