Donald Trump’s son is facing calls to testify before the US Senate about his meeting with a Russian lawyer who promised damaging information about Hillary Clinton during last year’s presidential election.

Trump Jr attended the meeting – allegedly brokered by a British music publicist – with Natalia Veselnitskaya, a lawyer who reportedly has ties to the Kremlin. Paul Manafort, who was the Trump campaign’s chairman at the time, and Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner were also present.

The revelation, first reported by the New York Times, was the first public evidence that members of the Trump campaign were willing to accept Russian assistance. A senior Republican on the Senate intelligence committee demanded that Trump Jr appear on Capitol Hill and testify under oath.

Susan Collins of Maine told reporters that “our intelligence committee needs to interview him and others who attended the meeting” as part of its investigation into Russian interference in the presidential election. Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the House intelligence committee, has made a similar demand.

1. and that would be Under Oath little boy!

[redwitch]

2. He'll be more than happy to perjure himself.

Awful people!

[Leghorn21]

4. Oath, smoath, dear river. That "gesture" means bupkus to these failing LYING LOSERS.

I'm keepin the faith in those "incidental intel collection recordings" (whatever they're called!!) I hear about now and then...

Plus flippers, flippin and singin for less prison time, that's a good one, too...

"Oath", not so much

[riversedge]

14. I just want to hear the little smarty pants sputter.

[barbtries]

13. that won't matter

if it's expedient he'll lie oath or no oath. the whole family is sociopathic

[vkkv]

3. Is it really too crude to say "Boil the little Fucker in Oil !! " ?

Is it ??

[marylandblue]

7. Yes, that's crude, but he say the same to you just for being a democrat

[Gore1FL]

12. If it's crude oil! nt

[SHRED]

5. Better still...

...have Mueller get him under oath before a Grand Jury.

[patricia92243]

8. Definitely! If the senate hearing is on TV absolutely nothing

really happens. All the guys do is preen before the cameras. If it is a private hearing, something might get done.

[marylandblue]

9. I am sure he will, but that testimony is secret until indictment time

For all we know, he has testified already, and this is just damage control.

[BigmanPigman]

10. He can probably get the needed info without having to do that.

His team knows what they are doing. I doubt Flynn needs to take the 5th too. Everyone knows they lie as easily as breathing. There must have a lot of real evidence needed to nail them all.

6. May he chat like his father Tweets

A chip off the old block, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, like father like son

[Honeycombe8]

11. They're getting close. They are now in the INNER CIRCLE. The "Wall" is closing in.

No doubt in my mind...they COLLUDED with an enemy foreign nation to hack the election system and to harm a fellow American.

LOCK HIM UP. Seriously. That's a crime.

[stuffmatters]

15. Looking forward to Trump Twerp questioning by Harris and King especially

Also wonder if McCain will be rolled in to silence Harris again.

[Duppers]

16. Eventually it will happen...
