Breitbart News’ request for Capitol Hill press credentials was denied until “more answers” can be provided on whether top White House adviser Steve Bannon has severed ties with the conservative website, according to a report on Monday.
The Standing Committee of the Senate Press Gallery put the request on hold, citing the need for “more answers,” the Daily Beast reported.
Larry Solov, president and CEO of Breitbart, sent a letter seeking permanent press credentials that confirmed that Bannon resigned from the news site in November 2016.
Solov went on to write that Bannon, who helped run the Trump presidential campaign, “has no editorial, executive, financial or other role or interest” in Breitbart.
But a committee member said other than “us trusting Larry,” there was no proof that Bannon had cut all ties, the Daily Beast reported.
Board members also wanted to clarify any role conservative donor and President Trump supporter Rebekah Mercer reportedly has in making editorial decisions.
Mercer’s father, hedge-fund billionaire Robert Mercer, invested $10 million in Breitbart, according to the New Yorker.
The committee was also frustrated that Solov’s letter was sent March 23, a day before the deadline for submitting requests for credentials.
Reporters for Breitbart will receive temporary passes.
The committee will meet again to consider credentials on April 25.
