The Senate Intelligence Committee has reportedly interviewed some of the Russians who attended a meeting at Trump Tower in June 2016 with Donald Trump Jr., Paul Manafort, and Jared Kushner. Emails revealed that Trump Jr. took the meeting after he was informed that he would receive damaging information about Hillary Clinton, and that Russia wanted to help elect his father. Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), the chairman of the committee, told CNN that the committee is speaking with other attendees at the meeting “before we know exactly what we want from Don Jr.,” who has not yet spoken with investigators.
