Donald Trump Jr. Pleads Ignorance in Embarrassing 'Hannity' Interview
For some reason, the president’s first-born son decided it was a good idea to incriminate himself further on Fox News on Tuesday.

Donald Trump Jr., you may have just incriminated yourself by posting emails that proved your intent to collude with Russia on Twitter—what are you going to do now? “I’m going on Hannity,” the first son thought to himself on Tuesday afternoon.
Inexplicably, Trump Jr. decided to continue his pattern of making things worse for himself and his father by sitting down on Tuesday night for an exclusive interview with his family’s most ardent Fox News booster, Sean Hannity, who did his absolute best to trick his viewers into thinking the entire story was a liberal media invention while at the same time vowing to ask his guest “every single question I can think of on this topic.”
Like his father, Trump Jr. is not prone to apologizing, but he did admit to Hannity that “in retrospect” he “probably would have done things a little differently” when it came to setting up a meeting with a Kremlin-linked lawyer who promised him damaging information about Hillary Clinton last June. Apparently, that is at least in part because he did not realize at the time that the campaign’s apparent attempts to collude with Russia would be such a big deal.
Asked if the part of Rob Goldstone’s email that referenced “Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump” set off any “sirens” in his head, Trump Jr. shrugged and said, “Honestly, I don’t know,” without addressing the inherent concerns within the question. Hannity declined to push him any further. Some national security lawyers have told The Daily Beast that Trump Jr.'s apparent ignorance of U.S. campaign laws could be a defense against prosecution.
