The House Intelligence Committee announced on Wednesday that it will be releasing “transcripts of testimony taken before the Committee” to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s office, as well as the rest of the Department of Justice. More than 50 transcripts will be sent to Mueller, including conversations with Donald Trump Jr. and Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
The Committee also plans to release the transcripts to the public. However, the Intelligence Community must first examine the transcripts for classified information.
Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA), the Committee chairperson, outlined the “five interconnected lines of inquiry” that the Committee will be following in the investigation:
