TRUMP FAMILY/DONALD JR: “Donald Trump Jr. on Saturday [6-10-17] seemed to back up former FBI Director James Comey’s claim that President Donald Trump asked him to drop the investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
‘When he tells you to do something, guess what? There’s no ambiguity in it,’ Trump Jr. said on Fox News’ ‘Justice with Judge Jeanine.’ ‘There’s no, *Hey, I’m hoping. You and I are friends. Hey, I hope this happens, but you’ve got to do your job.* That’s what he told Comey.’
Comey, who was leading the FBI investigation into Russia’s efforts to influence the 2016 election when Trump fired him last month, said in prepared remarks to the Senate intelligence committee Thursday that Trump told him in a one-on-one meeting in the Oval Office in February, ‘I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go.’
Comey said in his testimony that he took the President’s statement to be an inappropriate directive.”
