The public may soon learn a lot more about the infamous June 2016 Trump Tower meeting between a Russian lawyer and top Trump campaign officials.
NBC News reported Thursday that Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, wants the committee to make public the transcripts of its interviews with people who attended the meeting. Donald Trump Jr. reportedly took the meeting in an attempt to get dirt on former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and White House senior adviser Jared Kushner were also in attendance. The committee interviewed Trump Jr. last year. Kushner provided a written statement, but has not volunteered to be interviewed.
