Hearing on grapevine Special Counsel, Mueller could be about to claim Donald Trump Jnr lied to Congress. Not being reported on any news outlet yet...

There was a report in
The Hill on Trump Jr back in May. Mueller may be looking at it but he'll need to come up with something serious if they're going to use it against him. While something as innocuous as Sessions meeting Kislyak at some press conference might have got the desired recusal that's unlikely to be enough to hang serious criminal charges on Trump Jr.
At some point the insanity of all this needs to stop. It's just unrealistic to expect someone to recall not only every contact they made during a campaign but also the content of every discussion and the background of everyone they interacted with.
