Steve Bannon Strikes Deal to Avoid Grand Jury Testimony

Former White House strategist Steve Bannon has struck a deal to be interviewed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team instead of appearing before a grand jury, multiple news outlets reported Wednesday.

CNN and Fox News reported the deal.

The New York Times said on Tuesday Bannon had been subpoenaed by Mueller to testify before a grand jury in an ongoing probe of alleged ties between Russia and President Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
