Donald Trump Jr. will appear before the Senate Intelligence Committee this week.
Trump Jr. is poised to testify privately before the panel for approximately two to four hours concerning the committee’s Russia investigation Wednesday, according to multiple media reports. He was subpoenaed by the committee in April after special counsel Robert Mueller’s federal Russia investigation concluded.
President Trump’s eldest son last appeared before the panel in December 2017 but have additional questions for him after the president’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen testified in February.
The panel is expected to press Trump Jr. on issues including the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Russians to try to retrieve damaging information on 2016 Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, CNN reports. They also are planning to ask him about a potential Trump Tower Moscow project.
Trump Jr. previously said he was only “peripherally aware” of the project, although Mueller’s report claims Cohen said he talked to Trump Jr. about the project on several occasions. Cohen characterized their conversations about the project as not just “idle chit chat.”
