The Trump Tower Meeting

On June 9, 2016, Donald Trump Jr., Paul Manafort, and Jared Kushner met with Natalia Veselnitskaya, a Russian lawyer, at Trump Tower. Veselnitskaya claimed to have damaging information on Hillary Clinton, but the meeting ended with no tangible results.

The Mueller Investigation

In May 2017, Special Counsel Robert Mueller was appointed to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 election. The Mueller Report, published in April 2019, found that Trump Jr. had "welcomed the opportunity to receive information that could have assisted his father's campaign."

In September 2019, the House of Representatives launched an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. The inquiry focused on Trump's efforts to pressure Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden, a political rival. Trump Jr. testified before the House Intelligence Committee in November 2019.

The Senate Trial

In January 2020, the House of Representatives voted to impeach Trump on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. The Senate held a trial in February 2020, but Trump was acquitted on both charges.
