LEGAL/RUSSIA/TRUMP FAMILY/DONALD JR: “Donald Trump Jr. is scheduled to meet in private Thursday [9-7-17] with the Senate Judiciary Committee for a long-awaited interview to discuss a 2016 meeting he arranged with a Kremlin-linked lawyer who promised damaging information about Hillary Clinton during the height of last year’s presidential campaign, according to Trump Jr.s’ attorney.
The closed-door session involving aides and senators has long been in the works, though the exact details of when the meeting would occur have remained under wraps until now. Trump Jr. was called to publicly testify before the Senate committee in July but the president’s oldest son instead offered to conduct both a private interview and hand over documents for committee investigators…
Taylor Foy, a Grassley spokeswoman, declined on Wednesday to discuss any additional details of the interview. A Feinstein spokesman deferred questions to Grassley’s office.
Trump Jr. is one of the many people in the president’s inner orbit to be caught up in the legal cross hairs for his role in the 2016 campaign and a broad federal law enforcement probe into potential collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russia.”
