Donald Trump Jr. Appears to Contradict Father on Comey

In an interview Saturday night, Donald Trump Jr. appeared to refute his father’s version of events surrounding his conversations with former FBI Director James Comey. According to Comey, Trump asked him to lay off of the investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn. “When he tells you to do something, guess what? There’s no ambiguity in it. There’s no, ‘Hey, I’m hoping,’” Trump Jr. said during an appearance on Fox News’ Justice with Judge Jeanine. “You and I are friends: ‘Hey, I hope this happens, but you've got to do your job.’ That's what he told Comey.” But according to President Trump’s outside counsel Marc Kasowitz, Trump “never, in form or substance, directed or suggested that Mr. Comey stop investigating anyone.”
