Investigators Going After Trump Jr’s Email And Phone Records: Report
Congressional investigators are now turning their attention to Donald Trump Jr.’s phone records relating to his meeting with a Russian lawyer on June 9, 2016.
According to a new report by CBS News, “a congressional source says there is “high interest” in obtaining cell phone records and phone records in general around the meeting, which Trump Jr. had agreed to because he had been led to believe that the lawyer had damaging information about Hillary Clinton.”
The report goes on to say that Congressional investigators are also interested in obtaining the related email records of the people involved.
“Investigators would want to know all that was discussed between the parties, before, during and after the meeting,” the report notes.
After a series of bombshell New York Times reports, it was revealed that Donald Trump Jr. was offered damaging information about Hillary Clinton from the Russian government. Trump Jr. excitedly accepted the offer and invited Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner to join the meeting.
The subject email exchange which was released after The New York Times informed Trump Jr. they planned to publish was the first confirmation of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.
