Ex-White House strategist Steve Bannon expected back on Capitol Hill for Russia interview under subpoena

 Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon is expected to appear before the House Intelligence Committee today for a closed-door interview, after the panel gave him a week to comply with its subpoena.

But it’s unclear whether he will comply with the order to appear, after standing up the committee last week and repeatedly rescheduling planned appearances.

"Fool me once, fool me twice, fool me three times, fool me four times," Rep. Mike Quigley, D-Ill., a member of the committee, said to reporters Tuesday when asked about the likelihood of Bannon's appearance.

Bannon, a key figure in the Trump campaign and West Wing until he was forced out of the administration in August, has been at odds with the panel investigation Russian efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election over his testimony.

He first met with the committee behind closed doors in January, when he told congressional investigators privately that the meeting between Trump campaign officials and a Russian lawyer promising dirt on Hillary Clinton in June of 2016 at Trump Tower was "unpatriotic," according to sources familiar with the meeting.
