Donald Trump Jr. retweets praise for Cohen as witness with 'no reason to lie'
With his father at a summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, Donald Trump Jr. was glued to Michael Cohen’s testimony before Congress Wednesday, firing off commentary in real time as the president’s former lawyer painted a damning picture of the man he worked for over a 12-year period.
“To be clear: Mr. Trump knew of and directed the Trump Moscow negotiations throughout the campaign and lied about it,” Cohen said in his opening statement. “He lied about it because he never expected to win the election. He also lied about it because he stood to make hundreds of millions of dollars on the Moscow real estate project.” This sounds like a breakup letter... and I’m keeping your sweatshirt.

Trump Jr. picked up and pulled on that thread.
