Newly released transcripts of Donald Trump Jr.’s interview with the Senate Judiciary Committee last September reveal that the president’s eldest son left some room for ambiguity about whether his father knew of a controversial 2016 meeting at Trump Tower. The transcripts released Wednesday largely focus on a meeting that Trump Jr. took in June 2016 involving a Kremlin-tied businessman’s claims to have damaging information about Hillary Clinton. In the interview conducted by Senate committee staffers, Trump Jr. left open the possibility that his father might have known about the meeting ― something the White House has firmly denied. Has he ever told you whether he saw this e-mail or knew about this meeting? CORRECTION: A previous version of this story mistakenly said the Senate Judiciary Committee had wrapped up its investigation.
