Donald Trump Jr. has reached a deal with the Senate Intelligence Committee to appear for a second closed-door interview in June, according to people familiar with the matter, ending a tense standoff between the president’s son and the panel’s Republican chairman. Under the deal’s terms, Trump Jr. will testify for up to four hours and address a limited number of questions, these people said on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive negotiations. Alan Futerfas, a lawyer for Trump Jr., declined to comment. Mueller never spoke to Trump Jr. or the president; Cohen is presently serving a three-year prison sentence for lying to Congress and financial crimes. Cohen’s testimony also is driving a new subpoena threat from the House Intelligence Committee against four lawyers connected to Trump, his children and his businesses.
