'Prosecution summons Steve Bannon'

washington - Steve Bannon, the former top advisor of US President Donald Trump, has been called to make statements to a grand jury under oath. The summons comes from special prosecutor Robert Mueller, who investigates the alleged interference of Russia with the US presidential elections in 2016.

The New York Times, based on an initiate, reports that this is the first time that Mueller is trying to find information in this way from people close to Trump during the campaign time. According to the source, the summons follows the remarks attributed to Bannon in the book 'Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House'.

Bannon, among other things, has criticized the son of Trump, Donald Trump Jr., because of his participation in a controversial meeting with a Russian lawyer. He would have predicted that Mueller's research would ultimately concentrate on money laundering.
