Donald Trump Jr. reportedly reaches deal to testify before Senate Intelligence Committee

Donald Trump Jr. has agreed to privately testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee in mid-June, people familiar with the matter told CNN Tuesday.

Under the terms of the deal, President Trump's eldest son will testify for up to four hours, answering questions related to five or six topics. Members of the committee will be allowed to ask Trump Jr. questions about his June 2016 meeting with Russians at Trump Tower and the Trump Tower Moscow project, CNN reports. This will also be the final time Trump Jr. will be asked to appear before the panel regarding its probe into Russian meddling during the 2016 election.

The committee issued a subpoena for Trump Jr. earlier this month, and he had until Monday to respond; people with knowledge of the matter said once negotiations started, the deadline was extended to Tuesday.
