Congressional investigators are interested in obtaining phone records pertaining to Donald Trump Jr.'s June 9, 2016 Trump Tower meeting with a Russian lawyer, CBS News has confirmed.

CBS News' Jeff Pegues reports that a congressional source says there is "high interest" in obtaining cell phone records and phone records in general around the meeting, which Trump Jr. had agreed to because he had been led to believe that the lawyer had damaging information about Hillary Clinton.

And there is also interest in the email accounts of all of those involved in the meeting. In addition to Trump Jr., Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort also attended the gathering. A congressional source says "we want all relevant documents" connected to the people in the meeting. Investigators would want to know all that was discussed between the parties, before, during and after the meeting.

1. In other words, they have Donald Trump's number.

13. Maybe but they also need to corroborate Kushner's stories

Kushner weaseled out of this saying he was only in the meeting for 5 minutes and then he got called out to another meeting. OK so the phone records need to show that.

Kushner said he never was told what the meeting was about, because Eric didn't call him and explain it. He only sent a broadcast email with no specific info. OK the phone records need to demonstrate that, or maybe Kushner got caught in another lie.

They're all weasels, and now they're starting to point fingers at each other. We can't believe anything they say.

2. What little good it will do them if Jr was smart and used a prepaid that he

ditched soon after.

3. He's already admitted to being there, to using it. He's basically at no-win.

If he used a burner, then that's intent to conceal. If he destroyed, that's also a form of obstruction. He's kinda fucked no matter what.

4. LOL

I doubt a smart person would have replied I LOVE IT!

5. If Jr was smart? LOL n/t

[cstanleytech]

6. I believe in giving people the benefit of doubt even JR, granted

it's not high up there on the probabilities but it's not 100% impossible

[moonscape]

7. You're gracious. I need to follow your lead so

will go with 99% impossible.

We're such bleeding hearts, yes we are.

9. Well we knew he was a member of the 1% :P lol

[flibbitygiblets]

11. Hahahahaha. Jr is lots of things, but smart is not one of them

Plus he loves to shoot off his mouth. My bet is he's told other people about his big-boy meeting to get the supposed dirt on Hillary.

14. His best was bragging about all the Russia

Money flowing in

That should be right there with "invented the internet" infamy

8. The E-mail says

the promoter that arranged the meeting had direct access to Trump through his assistant. He even mentioned the possibility of calling Trump himself. I want the investigators to review Trump's phone records to see if any of the people involved called.
