WASHINGTON: Steve Bannon ? a former top White House strategist and a former chief campaign aide to US President Donald Trump ? has been asked to testify before the US House of Representatives intelligence panel next month, Bloomberg News reported.

Corey Lewandowski, Trump?s former campaign manager, was also asked to testify in early January, Bloomberg reported on Friday, citing an official familiar with the committee?s schedule.

Representatives for the committee did not immediately respond to inquiries for comment. The panel is probing alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 US election.
