Senators say Paul Manafort, Donald Trump Jr. will get subpoenas if they skip hearing
Thursday, July 20, 2017 at 8:06PM by Louis Milman


(WASHINGTON) -- Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is threatening to issue subpoenas to compel Paul Manafort and Donald Trump Jr. to testify before Congress if they do not cooperate with the panel’s ongoing investigation and appear for a public hearing next week.

“If they don’t voluntarily come, they will be subpoenaed,” Grassley told reporters Thursday morning.

On Wednesday, the panel formally invited both men to appear before the committee next Wednesday for a hearing on 2016 presidential election interference. Committee investigators also requested a litany of documents from both men related to campaign contacts with Russian officials.

Manafort, President Donald Trump’s former campaign manager, and Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son, are still reviewing the Judiciary Committee's requests.
