The two sources who confirmed the interview want to remain anonymous in order to discuss a private encounter.

Trump Jr. is one of almost 1,000 witnesses interviewed by the committee as it seeks to establish a record of the attack, which was the worst on the Capitol in over two centuries. He is the second of Trump’s children to appear before the committee, following his sister Ivanka Trump, who met with legislators for eight hours in early April.
