Former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon has cut a deal with Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team to avoid testifying before a grand jury, sources told CNN on Wednesday. 'And, what's more, we would later learn that would be extended to even after he left the White House.' Interest in Bannon was prompted by comments the ex-chief strategist made to Michael Wolff in the author's new book 'Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.' He resigned from the right-wing news site last week, after returning to its helm in August after his eight-month White House stint. Bannon could be interviewed by Mueller's team by the end of the month, NBC News said.
