Donald Trump Jr. and Paul Manafort face subpoena if they don't testify voluntarily

President Trump's son and his former campaign manager will face a subpoena if they don't appear willingly before Congress, Senate Judiciary Committee leaders warned.

"We asked them for a voluntary appearance," Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, the top Republican on the panel, told CNN on Thursday. "I hope they accept the subpoena voluntarily, but if they don't then you have to have a marshal give it and that takes a little more time."

Grassley wants Donald Trump Jr., and Paul Manafort to testify about alleged ties between the Trump campaign and the Russian government. The request was sparked by news of a meeting with a Russian lawyer that Trump Jr. scheduled in expectation of Kremlin-provided dirt on Hillary Clinton, although the lawyer was not a Russian government employee and did not apparently provide such information.

Was there any question these two would refuse to testify, or is stating the obvious just another way of yet another rag to publish dramatic headlines?

They've already said they'd do it, but if they didn't, so what?

Congressional subpoenas are incredibly weak and get routinely ignored.
