The president and bannon are now, does it surprise you bannon would cooperate with the white house s direction to not answer questions about his time in the transition or the white house? no, it doesn t. i think there s been a misperception that because bannon was publicly humiliated by trump, that therefore, he s looking to get some sort of revenge. according to people i have talked to around bannon, that s absolutely wrong. i spoke to two people today familiar with bannon s mindset going into this testimony who said to me that this claim of executive privilege was meant to demonstrate bannon s loyalty to president trump. so it was meant to demonstrate loyalty. so it s like an olive branch, essentially? exactly. yeah. i think bannon s larger goal here, sure, he would like to avoid getting charged with contempt of congress, getting in trouble with the special prosecutor but in the near term what he wants to do is get back into trump s good graces. one way i think he believes he c ....

Significant amounts of time, you know, litigating, discussing, arguing whether this claim of executive privilege makes any sense in a legal context. that will take time. yeah, it s a really puzzling thing. so obviously, the reporting, he s been subpoenaed by mueller but do you have any power to force him to come back and actually answer questions in front of the committee? sure we do. you know, ultimately if the chairman of the committee, of the investigative committee, mike conaway at this point, makes a determination that this expansive, this incredibly expansive claim of executive privilege doesn t apply, steve bannon, if he continues to refuse to answer questions, he puts himself at risk of being charged with contempt of congress. was there a bipartisan breakdown in terms of how republicans on the committee or democrats on the committee viewed his answers, or do you think it was bipartisan? yeah. i will tell you it s bipartisan. ....

Steve bannon s ten hours on the house intelligence hot seat are over. he did confirm to the committee he s been subpoenaed by special counsel mueller and earned one as well from the panel for his non-answer and claim of executive privilege. you heard committee member jim himes describing the novel nature of that claim as well as this. the book that he says is playing such a big role in the committee s effort to get answers. it won t surprise you to hear the fun detail that there was more than one copy of the recent book fire and fury in the room and of course, in that book, steve bannon was expansive on things that happened and things he said and others said during those two periods of time, and yet there he was saying no, i won t answer those questions because i have been asked by the white house not to. back now with josh green and carrie cordero. is it possible the subpoena from mueller s team was issued because of what bannon said in the wolff book, specifically calling that ....

Those two periods of time, and yet there he was saying no, i won t answer those questions because i have been asked by the white house not to. congressman himes, appreciate your time. thank you. thank you, anderson. so steve bannon won t answer certain questions and he s citing executive privilege even though some of the conversations he s refusing to testify about were not even with the chief executive present and some of them took place during the transition before trump was chief executive at all. the question is, is that legal? to do that, to claim that in those circumstances, and how could someone who had so much to say to author michael wolff, apparently have so little to say now? on top of that, he s now on two hot seats, one before congress and the other, if he doesn t cut some sort of deal before robert mueller s grand jury. joining us is someone who got to know him well, josh green, author of the great book devil s bargain. steve bannon, donald trump, and the storming ....
