(CNN) The Senate judiciary committee is now going through documents that could give a fuller picture of the controversial Trump Tower meeting where Donald Trump Jr. was promised Russian dirt on Hillary Clinton's campaign -- and whether there were any improper contacts between Russian officials and Trump associates during the course of the election. According to committee officials, the panel has now received roughly 20,000 pages from the Trump campaign responding to a detailed series of questions posed by the panel last month. The committee asked for all records related to the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting when Trump Jr., the President's son-in-law Jared Kushner and former campaign chairman Paul Manafort met with Russian operatives after the younger Trump was informed the Russian government was trying to help his father's campaign. Trump Jr. has provided another 250 pages of documents to the committee, with Manafort turning over an additional 400 pages, according to committee officials. Moreover, the committee has received documents from the Trump administration about the Russian-American lobbyist, Rinat Akhmetshin , who also attended the Trump Tower meeting, the sources said.
