Donald Trump Jr., Paul Manafort to testify before Senate Judiciary Committee

By Alex Pappas Published July 19, 2017 Fox News

Donald Trump Jr. is scheduled to testify next week before the Senate Judiciary Committee about Russia’s attempted meddling in the presidential race, according to an advisory from the committee.


The president’s son has been in the news over his June 2016 meeting with a Russian attorney over possible damaging information on Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.


Democrats have pointed to the meeting to argue collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government. The Trump campaign has denied the accusation.


Former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who attended the meeting with Trump Jr., is also scheduled to testify before the committee, according to the advisory.


The July 26 hearing will be about “oversight of the Foreign Agents Registration Act and attempts to influence U.S. elections,” the advisory said.


Jared Kushner
, the president’s son-in-law who now works as a White House adviser, is also expected to appear before the Senate Intelligence Committee next week. Kushner also attended the meeting with Trump Jr. and Manafort.


“Working with and being responsive to the schedules of the committees, we have arranged Mr. Kushner's interview with the Senate for July 24,”


Kushner’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, said Wednesday. “He will continue to cooperate and appreciates the opportunity to assist in putting this matter to rest.”
