WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trumps eldest son met with the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee on Wednesday as part of the panels investigation into Russia, the 2016 U.S. election and whether his fathers election campaign colluded with Moscow.
Donald Trump Jr. arrived at a Senate office building shortly after 10 a.m. EST (1500 GMT). Capitol police officers tried to keep journalists from witnessing his arrival, but he was spotted by reporters as he rushed to a room the committee uses for classified briefings.
U.S. intelligence agencies said in the wake of Trumps victory in the November 2016 U.S. presidential election that they had concluded Russia sought to influence the campaign to boost Trumps chances of defeating former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, his Democratic challenger.
Moscow has denied any such activity, and Trump has dismissed talk of possible collusion as a witch hunt led by Democrats disappointed about his victory.
