Schiff threatens contempt against Steve Bannon after tense closed-door session
Fox NewsHouse Democrats said Thursday they are looking at initiating contempt proceedings against former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, complaining that he cited "executive privilege" to brush off a host of questions during a tense closed-door interview with the House Intelligence Committee.
Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., told reporters that Bannon stonewalled “almost all of the questions,†with the exception of a series of 25 scripted questions from the White House -- all of which he answered "no." Schiff added that Bannon said he had been instructed to invoke executive privilege by the White House.
"That claim of executive privilege is breathtaking and insupportable and, indeed at times, it was laughable," Schiff said.
