Former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon was subpoenaed last week by special counsel Robert Mueller as part of the federal probe into Russian interference in the presidential election, The New York Times reported Tuesday.
Bannon, who joined the Trump campaign in August of 2016 and left the White House almost exactly a year later, is one of the few known instances that Mueller has used a subpoena to compel information from a member of President Trump’s inner circle.
Mueller previously obtained subpoenas targeting former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who has since been charged with a slate of federal crimes, including money laundering.
Mueller interviewed dozens of Trump associates in the closing months of the year, but those individuals were not served with a subpoena, according to the Times.
