While House Intelligence Committee Democrats are concerned Republicans are trying to shut down the Russia investigation as quickly as possible, Bloomberg Politics reports the committee has sent letters to former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon and former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, asking them to testify early next year:
The committee hasn’t yet received a response from either Bannon or Lewandowski. The invitation, which didn’t come in the form of a subpoena compelling them to testify, was for a "voluntary interview" in the committee’s offices, which would mean it would be held behind closed doors, the official said.
The letter doesn’t lay out specific reasons the committee wants to interview them, or the questions the panel wants to pose, but it makes clear that the interviews are part of the Russia investigation.

Bannon was a key member of Trump’s team when the president fired national security adviser Michael Flynn and FBI director James Comey.
During the campaign, Bannon was also a liaison to its data-analytics firm, Cambridge Analytica.
