Senate Panel Subpoenas Donald Trump Jr. to Testify About Russia
---------------------------------------------------------------

The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee has subpoenaed Donald
Trump Jr. to return to Capitol Hill to testify about his role in matters
related to the Russia investigation. It's the first congressional
subpoena compelling one of President Trump's children to testify. In
2017, Trump Jr. appeared voluntarily before the committee, where he
testified he was only "peripherally aware" of plans by the Trump
Organization to build a massive skyscraper in Moscow. His statements
were later directly contradicted by President Trump's former attorney
Michael Cohen, who testified he briefed Trump Jr. and his sister Ivanka
about the Trump Tower Moscow project about 10 times.
