LEGAL/RUSSIA/TRUMP FAMILY/DONALD JR: “Several congressional committees investigating Russian activity during the 2016 U.S. election are expected to hear this week from witnesses connected to the controversy, which has dominated the early months of Donald Trump’s presidency.
Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son, is scheduled to meet privately Thursday [9-7-17] with staff on the Senate Judiciary Committee while former National Security Adviser Susan Rice met behind closed doors on Wednesday with the House Intelligence Committee, according to people familiar with the matter.
Separately, the House Intelligence Committee also issued a subpoena to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for information concerning a dossier of unverified information about the president.
There are three major concurrent congressional investigations under way on Capitol Hill over issues related to Russia and the subsequent political fallout. The House and Senate intelligence committees are investigating Russian activity during the U.S. presidential campaign, while the Senate Judiciary Committee is investigating the circumstances surrounding the president’s decision to fire former Federal Bureau of Investigation director James Comey amid the agency’s criminal probe into Russia…
Separately, Special Counsel Robert Mueller is leading his own investigation into Russian interference in the election.”
