Bannon Reportedly Talks To Mueller's Team, Not So Much To House Intel

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon had a busy week on Capitol Hill.

NBC News reports Bannon spent multiple days in interviews with special counsel Robert Mueller. Bannon reportedly spent 20 or so hours talking to Mueller's team.

But the former chief strategist reportedly wasn't as cooperative with the House intelligence committee this week. 

During an interview, Bannon told the committee he'd been instructed to invoke executive privilege on behalf of President Donald Trump. He would only answer 25 questions approved by the White House.

Lawmakers are trying to decide whether to hold him in contempt.

Bannon's tight lips have been an issue in the past. In January, Bannon reportedly gave very few answers when he testified behind closed doors with House intelligence committee members for over 10 hours.
