Former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon will not appear before the House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday, despite a subpoena, according to media reports.

Bannon is not expected to appear before the committee because the White House and the intelligence panel have not yet reached an agreement on the scope of questions he could face, CNN and Reuters reported.

Ignoring a subpoena issued by the committee could expose Bannon to a possible contempt of Congress charge, the news outlets noted.
