Speaker Nancy Pelosi says impeachmen­t of President Trump is “not even close” to having enough support in the House. »

WASHINGTON President Donald Trump’s eldest son will meet with the Senate intelligen­ce committee Wednesday behind closed doors, according to two people familiar with the meeting.

The people requested anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the confidenti­al interview. The meeting with Donald Trump Jr. comes after the committee’s Republican chairman, North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr, subpoenaed him as part of the panel’s Russia investigat­ion.

Burr received blowback from some of his GOP colleagues for the move, but he told fellow senators that Trump Jr. had backed out of an interview twice, forcing the committee to act.

Senators want to discuss answers Trump Jr. gave to the panel’s staff in a 2017 interview, as well as answers he gave to the Senate Judiciary Committee in a separate interview behind closed doors that year. President Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, told a House committee in February that he had briefed Trump Jr. approximat­ely 10 times about a plan to build a Trump Tower in Moscow before the presidenti­al election.

Trump Jr. told the Judiciary panel that he was only “peripheral­ly aware” of the real estate proposal.
