NEW from Rep. Schiff: Before Trump Tower meeting - Don Jr placed a call to an "unknown recipient".

[kpete]

Before Trump Tower meeting, Don Jr placed a call to an unknown recipient. Between those two calls, the Democratic response recounts, Donald Jr. made a third call to a blocked number. Who might Donald Jr. have been calling?


According to the Democratic response, Democrats wanted to find out - but Republicans blocked that from happening.


"We sought to determine whether that number belonged to the president, because we also ascertained that then-candidate Trump used a blocked number," Rep. Schiff said in an interview. "That would tell us whether Don Jr. sought his father's permission to thake the meeting, and (whether) that was the purpose of the call".
