WASHINGTON, Feb 15 (Reuters) - Former White House adviser Steve Bannon met with Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigators for two days this week, even as he frustrated lawmakers by refusing to answer many questions posed by the U.S. House Intelligence Committee on Thursday. Mueller has been conducting a criminal investigation of possible collusion between Russia and Trump’s campaign to sway the 2016 presidential election. Bannon’s attorney and White House aides did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Trump fired Bannon, the former head of the hard-right Breitbart News website, from his White House position in August. Reuters reported last week that Bannon was expected to meet with Mueller this week.
