When the new Democratic-led House Intelligence Committee meets for the first time Wednesday, Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) will hold a vote to release Russia investigation transcripts to Special Counsel Robert Mueller, including that of the committee's interview with Donald Trump Jr.
A notice posted to the House Intelligence Committee calendar late Friday said members will gather Wednesday, Feb. 6, at 10 a.m. to vote on the “transmission of Certain Committee Transcripts to the Department of Justice.”
It wasn’t immediately clear how many transcripts, and which specific witnesses, will be covered under Wednesday’s vote. There are 64 transcripts of testimony, according to a document released by Democrats in March, including 14 marked classified.
Other members of Trump’s inner circle who've appeared before the committee include:
- Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law
- Brad Parscale, digital media director of the 2016 campaign
- Keith Schiller, Trump’s former bodyguard
- Erik Prince, founder of the private security firm Blackwater
- Hope Hicks, former White House communications director
- Felix Sater, a former Trump real estate associate
- Steve Bannon, Trump’s former White House chief strategist
- Alexander Nix, former CEO of the political consulting firm Cambridge Analytica
A total of 73 witnesses appeared before the committee, according to a report released this year by its former Republican leadership.

Mueller has reportedly had informal access to the documents, although his team of prosecutors would need certified copies in order to file criminal charges against anyone who lied under oath.
