The Senate Intelligence Committee has struck a deal with Donald Trump Jr to appear for a closed-door interview next month, pulling the two sides back, for now, from a confrontation over a subpoena as part of the panel’s Russia investigation.
Under the terms of the deal, according to two people familiar with the agreement, Trump Jr will talk to the committee in mid-June for up to four hours. The people spoke on condition of anonymity on Tuesday to discuss the confidential terms.
