Donald Trump Jr. expected to meet with January 6 committee 

Donald Trump Jr., who is the eldest son of former President Donald Trump, is expected to meet with the Jan. 6 committee in the coming days, a source familiar with the panel’s work told NBC News Thursday.

Lawmakers on the House panel have invited Trump Jr. to speak with investigators voluntarily. They did not issue a subpoena.

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), who is the vice chair of the panel, quoted from text messages sent to Meadows during the riot from Fox News hosts, GOP lawmakers and Donald Trump Jr.

At the time, Cheney said the messages left “no doubt” the White House “knew exactly what was happening” at the Capitol during the riot.

“He’s got to condemn [the riot] ASAP,” Trump Jr. told Meadows in a text message, according to Cheney, saying that Trump’s tweet about Capitol Police “is not enough.”

“I’m pushing it hard,” Meadows replied. “I agree.” Trump Jr. added in a follow-up message, “We need an Oval Office address. He has to lead now. It has gone too far and gotten out of hand.”

Trump’s daughter and former senior White House adviser Ivanka was interviewed for nearly eight hours and her husband, Jared Kushner, has met with the panel as well. Trump Jr.’s fiancée, Kimberly Guilfoyle also appeared before the committee this week after receiving a subpoena. 

In a court filing last month, the committee argued that the former president and members of his campaign were part of a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results.

“The Select Committee … has a good-faith basis for concluding that the President and members of his Campaign engaged in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States,” the panel wrote in a legal brief.

Neither Donald Trump nor any members of his family have been charged with a crime.
