As calls from Senate Democrats mounted for contempt proceedings to be initiated, Donald Trump Jr., the president's eldest son, reached an agreement with the Senate Intelligence Committee Tuesday to comply with a congressional subpoena and provide additional testimony regarding key events in the Russia investigation, according to several media reports.
Senators on the Intelligence Committee remained tightlipped, repeatedly declining to discuss the apparent ongoing negotiations with Trump Jr. to the press since the news first emerged that Burr subpoenaed him to answer follow-up questions about a 2016 Trump Tower meeting where a Russian lawyer promised “dirt” on Hillary Clinton and a Trump Tower Moscow project leading up to the 2016 election.
But some Senate Democrats signaled to Newsweek Tuesday, prior to a deal reportedly being struck, that the committee should soon move forward with contempt proceedings, much like the House Judiciary Committee did last week with Attorney General William Barr. "Well, the subpoena has to mean something. And once you let somebody elude it, it'll happen again,” said Senator Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat on the Intelligence committee, when asked by Newsweek prior to the deal whether Trump Jr. should be held in contempt. “The answer to that question is yes. But I would say, he ought to be re-subpoenaed."

But other Intelligence Democrats were weary of stepping into the contempt arena, instead sidestepping the topic to defer to the chairman, Burr, and vice chairman, Democrat Mark Warner. Both remained relatively silent about the matter throughout the negotiations.
realDonaldTrump sua filha e uma puta seu filho um puto então pegue a sua putada e tire suas garras de puto velho do oriente médio você é um genocida para quem sua família de infames da o rabo e problema seu agora a paz e uma possível guerra e problema nosso entendeu seu merda ?
Obama once did a news interview which he stated on live, during the interview, that he spy’s on people HE deems HIS enemy. What did he mean by that looking at what happened in UN & 2016 elections.
Don’t trust the need for more questions by experts in tricking scams. Obama should be investigated for doing nothing to block Russia in our elections, not informing both candidates about Russia, only Clinton & trying to use FBI to open the path, to frame Trump, but not Clinton.
Why does he get to dictate the terms?
WHY were TheDemocrats bullied into this compromise?
