Donald Trump Jnr appears before US senators for fresh grilling over contact with Russia during 2016 presidential election
- Trump Jnr likely to face scrutiny for his role in arranging a Trump Tower meeting that included a Russian lawyer offering dirt on Hillary Clinton
Donald Trump Jnr returned to the US Congress on Wednesday to face questions likely to focus on his contacts with Russians, as the president’s eldest son insisted he has “nothing to correct” from his 2017 testimony.
Trump, 41, spent about three hours testifying behind closed doors before members of the Senate Intelligence Committee as part of the Republican-led panel’s two-year investigation of Russia’s interference in the 2016 US presidential election.
Trump, who helms the Trump Organisation collection of businesses that was run for decades by his father, faced a barrage of questions as he strode into the hearing room, including whether he was going to alter his testimony from two years ago.
“No,” he said quickly, before adding: “Nothing to correct”.
He undoubtedly faced scrutiny for his role in arranging a Trump Tower meeting in June 2016 that included a Russian lawyer offering dirt on Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
