I HOPE HE KNOCKS 'EM DEAD – AT 9:55 A.M. ET:  The son-in-law also testifies.  Jared Kushner will testify before a Senate committee about a meeting with Russians.  From the New York Post: 

A Senate panel will question Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and a top adviser, about a meeting he arranged with a Russian ambassador, according to a report on Monday.

The Senate Intelligence Committee, which has been looking into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, wants to talk to Kushner about meetings with Kremlin envoy Sergey Kislyak, the New York Times reported, citing administration and congressional officials.

The White House has confirmed that Kushner met Kislyak in early December at Trump Tower, but the report said Kislyak requested another meeting that month.

Kushner asked a deputy to attend that meeting.

But later Kushner met with Sergey Gorkov, head of Vnesheconombank, which the Obama administration hit with sanctions after Russian President Vladimir Putin annexed Crimea, the report said.

A White House spokeswoman acknowledged the Kushner meetings, but said they were routine discussions.

Hope Hicks said Kushner met with foreign government officials as part of his duties with the Trump transition.

COMMENT:  By all means, let them investigate.  The Democrats will probably make fools of themselves, and ask dumb questions.  The fishing expedition will be fun to watch.   I hope Al Franken is one of the questioners.
