(CNN)Donald Trump Jr. has agreed to meet with the House Intelligence Committee as soon as next week, giving lawmakers their first opportunity to question President Donald Trump's eldest son over his contacts with Russians during the campaign season, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the matter.

Trump Jr.'s highly anticipated testimony, scheduled for December 6, comes as he has faced growing questions on Capitol Hill about the June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower where he met with Russian operatives after being promised dirt on Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Both the House and Senate Intelligence Committees have interviewed several of the participants in the meeting, including on Tuesday when the House panel questioned the Russian translator, Anatoli Samochornov, who also attended the Trump Tower session, sources said.

But Trump Jr.'s appearance will be one of the most anticipated events yet of the investigation, particularly in light of new revelations of correspondence he had with WikiLeaks during the campaign season.

1. I can only imagine what will go on there.

2. I am going to place a bet that he lies..................

after all when you live with a malignant narcissistic psychopath and an abuser, you as a child become more likely to be just like the person leading by example.......................

3. Well, he already lies

...and so predicting more lies is a safe bet.

But, yes--the Trump children have learned that truth-telling is for others, and that we "others" are not as special as they are.
What they haven't learned is that we don't think they are more special than us.
This all must be so hard for them.

5. Yes it must be extremely hard looking at themselves in the mirror, not knowing what is reality

and then looking at themselves in the mirror and being well a ---- serial liar and traitor

4. "to talk to" meaning he is forced to testify under oath! " behind closed doors" meaning

in secret where he can rat out everyone else ....

7. can't count on it being under oath.

I remember the Bush era testifying, and they allowed Bush to get away with having Cheney with him, closed doors and NO oath, plus no transcripts.

Now, it is the House Committee, which is...or maybe was...handling the investigation with kid gloves.

What will really count is open door, under oath, in the Senate Comm.

He will lie in either case, that's a given.

A fitting punishment for him would be to put him in an arena, like the ones in Ben Hur.
Add elephants and cheetahs.

6. This must be the reason for the recent twitter meltdowns since Friday. nt

[dixiegrrrrl]

8. That, and Mueller will be "talking with" Hope Hicks next week.

Pretty sure it is next week....

[BumRushDaShow]

10. Yikes. It'll probably get worse then....

9. Trey Gowdy will make sure the questions are easy enough to understand

and everyone takes it easy on him
