Senator Kamala Harris said Thursday that Senate investigators could seek testimony from President Donald Trump amid investigations into ties between his campaign and Russia during the 2016 presidential election, The Hill reports.
“I think it’s possible, yes,” Harris said when MSNBC’s Ari Melber asked if the Senate could seek Trump’s testimony.
Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son, answered questions for over five hours on Thursday in a closed-door interview with Senate investigators regarding his June 2016 meeting with a Russian attorney.
During his testimony, Trump Jr. said he had met with the attorney in an effort to assess Hillary Clinton’s “fitness” for office, as she was running against his father.
Harris, a former California prosecutor and member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, had previously interviewed Attorney General Jeff Sessions as part of the probe into possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign.
When asked under what conditions Trump would be brought before the Senate to testify, Harris said, “We’ll see where the facts lead us.”
