(U) Trump Jr.'s level of insight regarding his father's knowledge during the campaign is unclear. He told the Committee that during the campaign, contact with Trump "could be anywhere from a couple times a day to not speaking for a week. It really depended. But like I said, once things got into full motion, I wasn't with him very often. And I didn't need to speak to him. He's not a small-talk kind of guy. So I knew what I needed to do, he knew what he needed to do, and we executed those roles. But you don't call my dad to say 'Hey, what's up?' in the midst of everything that's going on. That's just not what he's into." Trump Jr. Tr., pp. 26-27. Steve Bannon, who was an informal advisor to the Trump campaign at the time, has been quoted as saying that there was no chance Donald Trump Jr. didn't take the meeting participants to meet his father while they were in Trump Tower. Tucker Higgins, "Steve Bannon says he's certain that Trump met with Russians who were at Trump Tower in 2016," CNBC, January 3, 2018. When asked about that statement Bannon did not deny saying it, but told the Committee that he did not know if Donald Trump Jr. made the introduction to his father and had no additional information on the topic.
