Trump applauds Don Jr's "transparency" for releasing Russia emails

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by muriel_volestrangler (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: Axios

Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Sanders read a statement from President Trump Tuesday regarding the release of the emails that led up to Don Jr.'s June meeting with a Russian attorney: "My son is a high-quality person, and I applaud his transparency," wrote Trump. Live updates from Sanders' off-camera briefing:

When was the last time Trump spoke with Don Jr.? "I don't know," said Sanders, then said she was referring all other Trump Jr. questions to his outside counsel. "I don't have anything else to add."

On words like "treason" and "perjury" being thrown around: "I think those new words are ridiculous."

Does Kushner still have full security clearance? Sanders wouldn't say.

That was a typo. He meant transportable, as in "don't let the door hit your ass on the way out!" FM123 Jul 2017 #5

The NYTimes was about to release it and they did this in an attempt to mitigate the damage.
