[Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steve Bannon is Neutral . WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former White House strategist Steve Bannon has struck a deal to be interviewed by U.S. Special Counsel Robert Muellerâs team rather than appearing before a grand jury  CNN reported on Wednesday  citing sources close to  Bannon .
 Bannon  had been subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury in Muellerâs probe of alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and any ties with President Donald Trumpâs campaign  according to a person familiar with the matter.
A spokesman for Mueller declined to comment on the CNN report. A lawyer who represented  Bannon  in an appearance before the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee on Tuesday could not be immediately reached.
An interview with prosecutors would allow  Bannon  to have an attorney present during  his  appearance  as lawyers are not permitted in grand jury rooms.
 Bannon  was a close adviser during Trumpâs campaign and in  his  first months in office  but  he  was fired from  his  White House job in August as the president sought to bring more order to his staff operations.
Earlier this month  Trump attacked  Bannon  for comments  he  made to Michael Wolff  the author of a book highly critical of the president and his family. They included scathing remarks about Donald Trump Jr.  the presidentâs eldest son  for meeting during the campaign with a Russian lawyer who was said to have damaging information on Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
 Mueller  is investigating allegations that Russia interfered in the 2016 campaign to try to tip the vote in Trumpâs favor  as well as any potential collusion by Trumpâs campaign with Moscow.
According to a person familiar with the arrangement  the attorney who represented  Bannon  for Tuesdayâs House appearance  William Burck  is not representing him in connection with Muellerâs investigation. The person did not believe  Bannon  had hired a counsel for that yet.

[Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ted Cruz is Neutral . But could it be that U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas does n't get personally grilled by constituents very often ? 
The listed events Cruz attended from April through August 2017 demonstrate that the term ` town hall ' can be stretched every which way , even to events not open to the public . 
All told , it looks to us like Cruz took questions at gatherings of selected constituents , mostly business employees -- with the three veterans events open to members of the public who registered . 
Regardless , the Houston lawyer was told during the 2017 Texas Tribune Festival about a Democratic challenger 's suggestion that Cruz had n't visited small Texas towns during the term he won in 2012 . 
"Do you do enough interaction with your constituents , Sen. Cruz ?" 
Cruz , asked if he interacts enough with constituents , said : "In 2017 , I 've done 17 town halls" in Texas . 
Cruz replied : "That is a huge part of the job . 
A town hall , Cruz spokesman Phil Novack later noted by email , is defined by Merriam-Webster as "an event at which a public official or political candidate addresses an audience by answering questions posed by individual members ." 
Cruz , a Republican poised to seek re-election in 2018 , hardly has a reputation of avoiding attention . 
Novack otherwise told us Cruz had held 19 town halls with Texas constituents in 2017 , all "organized by third parties who determined attendees , where" the senator "has taken unvetted questions from anyone in the crowd -- at businesses , factories , chambers of commerce , and in public venues ." 
The businesses , including Division Laundry & Cleaners in San Antonio , Sysco Central Texas in New Braunfels and Igloo Products Corp. in Katy , had employee town halls with Cruz , the chart says . 
The veterans group , per the chart , hosted Cruz at July events in McKinney , Austin and Houston . 
By email to our inquiry , a CVA spokesman , Jim Fellinger , told us each CVA event with Cruz was open to the public by registration , without the group screening out anybody who registered . 
Fellinger pointed us to video posts of the CVA events showing that Cruz each time took questions via a moderator , who recognized a few individuals to speak directly to Cruz . 
Cruz 's office lists 19 events . 
Next , we confirmed from press releases , news stories and video snippets that Cruz made the appearances described in the Novack-provided chart . 
Events in bold on the chart below were open to reporters , Phil Novack , a spokesman for Sen. Ted Cruz , said . 
SOURCE : Chart provided by email from Phil Novack , press secretary to U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz , Sept. 28 , 2017 . 
We also asked Novack to share 2017 events Cruz had in Texas that were open to the public without registration -- where anyone could ask a question on any topic . 
Experts evaluate Cruz 's claim . 
Next , we shared our annotated version of the chart by email with academic experts and requested appraisals of Cruz 's statement that he 'd done 17 "town halls ." 
It seems these town halls are open only to the people from the sections of ` town ' that support Ted Cruz . 
In contrast , Trim , who directs a Pepperdine public engagement institute , said Cruz 's use of the "town hall" term struck her as "valid within the common use of the term ` town hall ' in 21st century America ." 
Mark Jones , a Rice University political scientist , said Cruz 's claim fits a "minimalist" definition of town hall in that they involved the senator speaking to , and fielding questions from , constituents from all walks of life across the state . 
But for a town hall "maximalist ," Jones wrote , none of Cruz 's events would qualify as a town hall "because they were held in largely controlled settings and were not open to the general public" with the exception of the veterans gatherings open to people registering ahead of time . 
John Gastil , a Penn State University professor , said that while the "town hall" term has lost clarity of definition over the years , he thinks Cruz 's claim was made to affirm his availability to the public . 
Cruz 's claim "strikes me as dubious ," Gastil summed up .

[Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Kenneth D. Adams is Neutral . Kenneth D. Adams   42  and Anthony Willie  55  pleaded guilty in Alexandria federal court this week to a fraud conspiracy  as did three contractors who paid the bribes.
Until  their  arrests this year  the two were in charge of VDOTâs office in Burke and had the power to decide which contractors were used to plow roads during snowstorms. For at least the past six years  in exchange for those contracts  the two men took a cut of the profits  according to court documents. Sometimes snow-removal-company owners paid them cash outside fast-food restaurants and supermarkets in the area. Other times  they steered money toward a landscaping company owned by  Adams .
 Adams  also admitted to selling cocaine to  his  VDOT co-workers;  his  supplier was the relative of another employee.
Lawyers for Sariri wrote in a court filing that he had contacted law enforcement about âunfair practices and essentially insider tradingâ at VDOT.  Adams  and Willie âhad a chokehold over the snow-removal businessâ in the area  lawyers Peter Greenspun and Mikhail Lopez wrote.
