Trump stepped in to protect his son in a scandal

Donald Trump stood in defense of his son in a scandal due to a meeting with a Russian lawyer during the presidential campaign in 2016, calling Trump a younger "open, transparent and innocent".

Trump wrote a post on Twitter a few hours after Donald Trump's younger for Fox News spoke about a meeting he was told to receive sensitive information about Hillary Clinton, the BBC reports. "My son Donald did a good job last night. He was open, transparent and innocent. This is a hunting of witches in political history. Sadly, "Trump wrote on Twitter, reports CNN. Critics accuse Trump junior of having intended to secretly negotiate with the Russians and believe they have violated federal laws.

Trump junior for Fox News said the meeting was "a big one". However, he admitted that he still had to act differently.
