Donald Trump's former campaign manager Paul J Manafort will also testify alongside Trump Jr whereas the President's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner will appear earlier on July 24, the committee panel announced on Wednesday.

US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he did not fault his son Donald Trump Jr for meeting with a Russian lawyer during the 2016 presidential election campaign and that he was unaware of the meeting until a few days ago.

Donald Trump Jr told Fox News that his meeting with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya at Trump Tower in June last year was "just a nothing", but in retrospect, he would have done things differently.

The meeting between Donald Trump Jr and Russian lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya was also attended by the President's campaign chairman at the time, Paul J Manafort, and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, three advisers to the White House briefed on the meeting and two others with knowledge of it told The New York Times on Sunday.
