Donald Trump’s son and aides to testify in Senate about Russia
US President Donald Trump’s eldest son, his son-in-law and his former campaign manager are to testify before Senate committees investigating alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
Donald Trump Jr, Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort are suspected of having links with Russian officials.
Mr Trump and his allies have denied any collusion.
Meanwhile, Mr Trump said he would not have named Jeff Sessions had he known he would recuse himself from the probe.
In an interview with the New York Times, Mr Trump called the attorney general’s decision “very unfair”.
“Sessions should have never recused himself, and if he was going to recuse himself, he should have told me before he took the job and I would have picked somebody else,” Mr Trump said.
Mr Sessions recused himself from overseeing the Russia investigation in March, after failing to disclose at his confirmation hearing at the Senate that he had met Russia’s ambassador to the US.
Mr Sessions has not commented on Mr Trump’s latest remarks.
