Steve Bannon
Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon  is likely to meet with special counsel Robert Mueller next week  NBC News reported Tuesday  citing a source familiar with the process.
 Bannon  who 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." According to the book   Bannon  ripped two of Trump's adult children  Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr.
 Bannon  reportedly struck a deal last month 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 campaign and Russia.  Bannon  left the White House in August.
The news of  Bannon 's possible meeting with the special counsel comes as the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee said the panel should begin contempt proceedings against  Bannon  if  he  refuses to come back and testify about alleged Russian meddling in the election.
Last month   Bannon  had refused to answer questions about  his  time in the White House during a closed-door session with the House intelligence panel.
