Trump son, three others to testify before the Senate over Russian meddling

United States President Donald Trump’s eldest son, son-in-law and ex-campaign manager are to testify before the Senate on alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

Mr Trump junior and Mr Manafort have been called to testify before the senate judiciary committee about their links to Russian officials next Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the president said he would not have named Jeff sessions as attorney general if he had known he would rescue himself from the inquiry.

The hearing will be the most high-profile since sacked Federal Bureau Investigation Head James Comey gave testimony in June.
