Report: Mueller to interview Bannon about Flynn and Comey firings

Special Counsel Robert Mueller is planning to question Steve Bannon about President Trump's decisions to fire former national security adviser Michael Flynn and former FBI director James Comey, according to CNN.

Why it matters: The Russia probe continues to move closer to Trump's inner circle and scrutinize possible efforts to obstruct the investigations into ties between Trump associates and Russia. Mueller will reportedly interview Bannon by the end of the week.
