Trump says he was ‘very surprised’ about Senate subpoena of Don Jr.
President Trump on Thursday said he was “very surprised” — and appeared displeased — that the Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee issued a subpoena for Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son, to answer more questions about his contacts with Russia.
People close to Trump Jr. say he is resisting the subpoena and may invoke his Fifth Amendment right to refuse to answer questions, according to the New York Times. Trump Jr. told the committee that he “was peripherally aware” of the Trump Tower Moscow project. But in public testimony to the House Oversight Committee, Cohen said he briefed Trump family members, including Don Jr. and Ivanka Trump, “approximately 10 times” about it.“My son’s a very good person. Works very hard,” the president continued. “The last thing he needs is Washington, D.C. He would rather not ever be involved.
The president on Thursday described it as “opposition research” that “99 percent” of those in the room had done.
