Donald Trump Jr., seen at a Nov. 28 fundraiser, spent about seven hours Dec. 6 answering questions from the House Intelligence Committee. (Charlie Riedel/AP)A 2016 email sent to candidate Donald Trump and top aides pointed the campaign to hacked documents from the Democratic National Committee that had already been made public by the group WikiLeaks a day earlier. Alan S. Futerfas, a lawyer for Trump Jr., described it as one of “a ton of unsolicited emails like this on a variety of topics.”Futerfas said Erickson was unknown to Trump Jr. or the campaign. “The email was never read or responded to — and the House Intelligence Committee knows this,” Futerfas said. Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.), the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said Donald Trump Jr. did not answer some questions during a closed hearing on Dec. 6.
