https://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/reports-bannon-wont-appear-house-intel-despite-subpoena<snip>
Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon will not appear before the House Intelligence Committee for questioning Tuesday, despite a subpoena, according to sources who spoke to CNN and Reuters.
Defying the subpoena could result in a contempt of Congress charge for the former far-right media mogul, who recently fell from grace after his comments about President Donald Trumps son were made public in Michael Wolffs new Fire and Fury book on the Trump White House.
While senior Republican committee member Rep. Mike Conway (R-TX) told reporters Monday that the committee was fully expecting Bannon to comply with the subpoena, sources familiar with the matter who spoke to CNN and Reuters said Bannon isnt planning to show up Tuesday because the White House and the House panel havent come to an agreement on the scope of Bannons questioning.

CNNs source said that while Bannon isnt planning to comply with the House Intelligence panels subpoena, he would instead answer all of special counsel Robert Muellers questions.

Republicans in Congress respected Karl Rove more than they respect Steve Bannon. Mitch McConnell despises him.
