President Trump on Monday defended his son’s decision to take a meeting last year with a Russian lawyer.
“Most politicians would have gone to a meeting like the one Don jr attended in order to get info on an opponent. That’s politics!” Trump tweeted Monday.

The president has similarly defended his son over the past week. On Sunday, Trump tweeted: “HillaryClinton can illegally get the questions to the Debate & delete 33,000 emails but my son Don is being scorned by the Fake News Media?”
Last week, Trump Jr. released a chain of emails detailing his conversations on setting up the meeting with a Russian lawyer whom he was told has compromising information about Hillary Clinton.
The White House continues to deny the Trump campaign coordinated with Moscow during the presidential election.
Trump Jr. has said the meeting “went nowhere,” but many lawmakers have raised questions about the interaction.

I realize being in bed with Kremlin spies is Trump family tradition at this point, but FYI — you're not normal.https://t.co/YdhWkYprFz

By this logic, there’d be nothing wrong if Trump Sr had sat in on the meeting too, right? https://t.co/6s63XDNKXD

The spin is actually moving from “collusion is reasonable” to “it would have been malpractice not to consider collusion”

I did opposition research at RNC. If I had taken such a meeting, my boss would have fired me & called the FBI. @bjaycooper

Pretty fast transition from "the collusion narrative is a smear and a hoax" to "What's the big deal with collusion?" https://t.co/Pi3PNffB4n

Most politicians, huh? What does Little Donnie know about politicians? I thought he wasn’t a politician.
