WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump Jr. has told Senate Judiciary Committee staff that he didn’t inform his father, President Donald Trump, about a 2016 meeting that he and others on the Trump campaign held with a Russian lawyer.

That’s according to a person with knowledge of what was said in Thursday’s staff interview. The person declined to be identified because the meeting was private.

Trump Jr. said he didn’t know or didn’t recall the details of White House involvement in his response to the first reports of the 2016 meeting, the source said. The Washington Post reported in July that the president dictated a statement saying the meeting primarily concerned a Russian adoption program.

Emails released later by Trump Jr. show he was told that he would receive damaging information about Hillary Clinton.
