One layer AND a tie??? Sad!

Bannon to face House Russia investigators Tuesday
Bannon will be interviewed behind closed doors




WASHINGTON (CNN) - Steve Bannon, President Donald Trump's former chief strategist whose political fortunes have taken a roller-coaster fall in the wake of his comments in a scathing book on Trump, will be questioned on Tuesday by lawmakers about the Trump team and Russia.

Bannon's interview with the House Intelligence Committee will be his first appearance on Capitol Hill before any of the committees investigating Russian election meddling and possible collusion by the Trump campaign with Russian officials during the 2016 election.

Bannon's testimony is highly anticipated thanks to the Michael Wolff book "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," in which Bannon is quoted disparaging Trump's son Donald Trump Jr. and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, calling their June 2016 meeting with a Russian lawyer promising dirt on Hillary Clinton "treasonous."

Bannon's comments in Wolff's book prompted Trump to effectively disown him --- Trump said Bannon had "lost his mind" and nicknamed him "Sloppy Steve" --- and also led to Bannon's removal from Breitbart News last week. Bannon has expressed regret over a delay in responding to the book, and he has since tried to walk back some of his comments
