Donald Trump Jr. has long been his father’s id, the brawler who has helped fuel the president’s pugilistic instincts and stood firm as one of his fiercest defenders. Now the president’s eldest son is at the center of the firestorm over Russian connections swirling around his father’s administration and trying to fight off charges that he was open to colluding with Moscow to defeat Hillary Clinton.(AP Photo/Matt York, File) MORE LESS

Donald Trump Jr. will meet with staff on the Senate Judiciary Committee behind closed doors on Thursday to discuss any contact with Russian officials, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday night, citing three Democratic members of the committee.

The meeting will likely center on Trump Jr.’s June 2016 meeting with a Kremlin-linked lawyer who promised damaging information on Hillary Clinton as part of a Russian government effort to help the Trump campaign. Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, and former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort also attended the meeting. Both have yet to speak with the committee.

Trump Jr. is set to meet with staff on the Judiciary committee Thursday, but some senators are planning to attend as well, per the Washington Post.

  1. Trump: No oath for my boy, even in private. What we think as The Truth, fake Senate may think otherwise.

  2. On TV he’s a bombastic lie teller. Something tells me that behind closed doors he’ll be a cringing sniveler.

  3. Meanwhile, over in the other chamber
