    Investigations by Congress and special counsel Robert Mueller looking into whether the Russian government interfered with the 2016 US presidential election took a dramatic turn last week when Steve Bannon, former chief strategist to President Trump, refused to comply with a subpoena from the US House Intelligence Committee to answer questions about his time in the White House.

    Here, David Sklansky, professor of law and faculty co-director of the Stanford Criminal Justice Center, discusses subpoenas and the law governing these investigations. Sklansky is also the author of Democracy and the Police (Stanford University Press, 2008), and he writes regularly about criminal procedure and law enforcement.
