A former Soviet military counterintelligence officer who attended a June 2016 meeting with President Donald Trump’s oldest son is set to be interviewed next week by the House Intelligence Committee, according to three officials familiar with the panel’s schedule.
Rinat Akhmetshin’s scheduled testimony indicates the panel is looking at the Trump Tower meeting as a potentially important element in its investigation of potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia in the 2016 election. The meeting took place after Trump secured the Republican nomination.
