CNN's Jake Tapper cuts off WH aide after he refuses to answer questions
Washington (CNN) A top White House aide called Steve Bannon's comments in a new book on  President Donald Trump  "grotesque" Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union" before anchor Jake Tapper cut him off for not answering questions.
"It's tragic and unfortunate that Steve would make these grotesque comments so out of touch with reality and obviously so vindictive " White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller said  referring to  Trump 's former chief strategist.
During the contentious interview  Miller offered largely combative responses and focused on presenting  Trump  as a "political genius " repeatedly refusing to answer questions until Tapper decided to cut him off and move to the next segment.
CNN has not independently confirmed all the assertions in "Fire and Fury" by author Michael Wolff  which portrays  Trump  allies questioning the President's mental fitness for office.
 Trump  on Saturday took to Twitter to defend  his  mental abilities  saying  he  is "like  really smart" and a "very stable genius."
