Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon is slated to meet with special counsel Robert Mueller next week, NBC News reported Tuesday, citing a source familiar with the process.
Bannon, who also headed President Donald Trump’s campaign down the stretch of the 2016 election, has come under scrutiny recently due to his quotes in Michael Wolff’s explosive book “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.”
Bannon last month reportedly struck a deal with Mueller’s team to avoid testifying before a grand jury. The former Breitbart News chief was the first close Trump staffer or confidant to be served a grand jury subpoena related to Mueller’s probe of possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
