Kushner details West Wing 'war' with 'toxic' Steve Bannon in new book 02:34

(CNN)Jared Kushner details his clashes with Steve Bannon in his new book, describing a "toxic" West Wing presence who accused him of "undermining the President's agenda" and threatened to break him "in half" if Kushner turned on him.

The detailed account in the memoir -- set to be published next month -- provides fresh insight into the pernicious environment inside former President Donald Trump's West Wing. Coming just as the former President gears up for a 2024 campaign, excerpts from the book reveal how viciously the Trump team turned on one another from the earliest days of the administration, and how distrust and resentment affected every aspect of governing.
Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser writes that Bannon once yelled and threatened him in the Cabinet Room after Gary Cohn, a senior economic adviser, informed Kushner that Bannon was leaking negative information about him.
"Steve, you gotta stop leaking on Gary," Kushner said he told Bannon. "We're trying to build a team here."
Kushner writes that Bannon responded: "'Cohn's the one leaking on me. ... Jared, right now, you're the one undermining the President's agenda,' he continued, his eyes intense and voice escalating into a yell. 'And if you go against me, I will break you in half. Don't f--- with me.'"
In "Breaking History: A White House Memoir," Kushner questions his own response and says he was "woefully unprepared" after Bannon, "a black belt in the dark arts of media manipulation," declared war on him. CNN has reached out to a spokesman for Bannon on Kushner's book.
