Despite being described as a “key bystander” to events that led to the creation of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia collusion probe, former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon has thus far not been interview by Mueller’s team; however, Democrat Congressional investigators remain eager to call Bannon to testify before their own intelligence committee hearings on alleged Russia collusion in the 2016 election.

The Hill: Bannon Presses Trump to Hire Experienced Legal Team

Special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into possible Russian collusion with the 2016 Trump campaign has White House aides worried, despite the assurances of President Trump’s lawyer Ty Cobb that Mueller is handling the investigation “fairly.” Some sources close to the president have reportedly expressed doubts about Cobb’s competency to lead the White House’s defense. Chief among those critics is former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon.
