President Donald Trump's son took to Twitter while former FBI Director James Comey testified before 15 members of the U.S. Senate on Thursday.
Donald Trump Jr., 39, tweeted out defenses of his father throughout Comey's testimony. Comey discussed the circumstances of his firing after questions circulated about whether Trump obstructed justice by trying to steer Comey away from investigating links between Trump officials and Russia.
Trump Jr. issued a series of retweets and tweets from his verified account (@DonaldJTrumpJr) that supported previous arguments by his father and White House officials proclaiming innocence and condemning attacks as "fake news."
1/3 Flynn stuff is BS in context 2 guys talking about a guy they both know well. I hear "I hope nothing happens but you have to do your job"

2/3 very far from any kind of coercion or influence and certainly not obstruction!

3/3 Knowing my father for 39 years when he "orders or tells" you to do something there is no ambiguity, you will know exactly what he means
