WASHINGTON One of the congressional committees probing whether President Donald Trumps campaign colluded with Russia in last years election expects public testimony from Trumps eldest son and may subpoena the presidents former campaign chairman, two key figures in the ongoing investigations, according to the top Democrat on the committee, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.).

Donald Trump Jr. is expected to testify some time this fall, Feinstein said Sunday on CNN s State of the Union. I know that for sure.

Feinstein is the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, one of several congressional committees investigating ties between Trumps team and Russia last year, in addition to an independent investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller.

Staffers on the committee, chaired by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), conducted a private interview with Trump Jr. earlier this month about his June 2016 meeting with a Russian lawyer.

Trump Jr. arranged the meeting, which was also attended by then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort and Trumps son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner , after being promised dirt on his fathers opponent, Hillary Clinton. According to emails released by Trump Jr ., he was told that the information was connected to a Russian government effort to help his father.

I think its Sen. Grassleys intent, and certainly my intent, to have him before the committee in the open, and be able to ask some questions under oath, Feinstein said Sunday.

She also affirmed that the committee is likely to subpoena Manafort if he refuses to come before the committee.

Manafort has shown a reluctance to cooperate with the committee, which previously issued a subpoena in July but dropped it after Manafort agreed to hand over documents related to the investigation, while continuing to work out an agreement to have him testify at a later date.

His foreign business dealings, as well as lobbying work for pro-Russia groups, have made him a prominent figure in the multiple investigations.

Last month, Muellers probe reportedly issued subpoenas for two of Manaforts former aides .

Muellers team is also looking into Trump Jr.s meeting and the extent of the presidents knowledge of and involvement in it.

Feinstein stressed on Sunday that while the investigations are moving forward, they could take a long time to complete.

This could take a year, a year and a half, if not more, so I think people have to be patient, she said.
