Senate Judiciary Committee Threatens To Subpoena Trump Jr If He Doesn’t Show
Feinstein ain’t playing around.
Senator Dianne Feinstein, the ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, said Thursday she isn’t concerned about Donald Trump Jr. and Paul Manafort agreeing to testify because if they don’t “they’ll be subpoenaed.”
“Am I concerned? No, I’m not concerned, because if they don’t they’ll be subpoenaed,” Feinstein told reporters Thursday.
Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley has also said he is willing to subpoena Trump Jr. if he refuses to testify willingly.
It was announced Wednesday that Donald Trump Jr. and Paul Manafort are scheduled to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee in open session next week. Since then, some have speculated that Trump Jr. and Manafort may decline to appear.
Feinstein’s comments Thursday confirm that declining the invitation is not an option.
