Bannon, Mueller reach probe interview deal
WASHINGTON • Former White House strategist Steve Bannon has reached an agreement with Special Counsel Robert Mueller to be interviewed by Mr Mueller's investigators, a source familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.
Mr Bannon, who was a close adviser during United States President Donald Trump's 2016 election campaign, had been subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury in Mr Mueller's probe of links between Russia and the Trump campaign. Earlier this month, Mr Trump attacked Mr Bannon for scathing comments he allegedly made, including a meeting between Mr Trump's eldest son and a Russian lawyer who was said to have damaging information on Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
