President Trump reportedly fears that his son Donald Trump Jr. may have inadvertently gotten himself into legal trouble.
The Washington Post reported Saturday that Trump has told advisers and close confidantes he doesn’t believe his son knowingly broke any law, but said Trump Jr. could have unwittingly crossed a legal line.
Special counsel Robert Mueller is examining Trump Jr. for his role in arranging a June 2016 meeting in Trump Tower between a Russian lawyer and Trump campaign officials, including himself.
Music publicist Rob Goldstone told Trump Jr. in an email that the Russians were offering damaging information on Hillary Clinton as part of their support for Trump.
“If it’s what you say I love it especially later in the summer,” Trump Jr. replied to Goldstone.
Trump Jr. later called the meeting a waste of time and said they only discussed Russian adoption policies.

Trump is leaking to distance himself–and throw his own son under the bus. I wonder if Don Jr. will start to think like Cohen: how can I save myself? https://t.co/EotKlQ5T8Y

I’m old enough to remember when it was about adoption. https://t.co/RdbpeLIsgj

Don Jr was just walking down the streets of Manhattan on 09 JUN 2016, playing with his hair, when SOMEHOW, THROUGH NO EFFORT OF HIS OWN, he wound up in a secret meeting with Kremlin spies to obtain Russian intelligence on Hillary, which he then concealed.https://t.co/Tpetvfovuf
