In the closed door session — in which no media were allowed — Bannon was called in to answer questions as part of a probe into whether Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential elections. He had not shown up several times, as Congress and the White House could not agree on terms. But both Republicans and Democrats subpoenaed him last month, so he faced stiff punishment if he failed to show this time.
