Kamala Harris: Trump testimony is on the table

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) said Thursday that Senate investigators could seek testimony from President Trump amid probes into ties between his campaign and Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign.

“I think it’s possible, yes,” Harris said when MSNBC‘s Ari Melber asked if the Senate could seek Trump’s testimony. 

Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son, answered questions for over five hours on Thursday in a closed-door interview with Senate investigators regarding his now-infamous June 2016 meeting with a Russian attorney.

Harris, a former California prosecutor and member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, had previously interviewed Attorney General Jeff Sessions as part of the probe into possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign. 

When asked under what conditions President Trump would be brought before the Senate to testify, Harris said, “We’ll see where the facts lead us.”
