Trump Jr. told Senate investigators in 2017 that he was only “peripherally aware” of the Trump Tower Moscow project, something that Michael Cohen’s testimony contradicted.
Republican Representative Jim Jordan said he would encourage Donald Trump Jr. not to testify before Congress, despite receiving a subpoena from the Senate Intelligence Committee to appear.
Hemmer asked Jordan about comments made by Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal, who on Thursday said that Trump Jr. should go to jail if he refuses to comply with the subpoena. The committee reportedly wanted Trump Jr. to testify further about the Trump Tower Moscow project. While speaking to the Senate investigators during closed-door testimony in 2017, Trump Jr. said that he was only"peripherally aware" of Cohen's attempts to develop a Trump Tower in the Russian capital.
Jordan's response represented one side of a debate rippling through the Republican Party, which has responded in a divided manner to the subpoena of Trump Jr.
