WASHINGTON: Donald Trump’s eldest son released emails Tuesday showing he embraced Russia’s efforts to support his father’s presidential campaign, admitting he would “love” to get dirt from Moscow on Hillary Clinton. Later Tuesday, Trump Jr told Fox News that he did not tell his father about the meeting, after the talk failed to yield compromising information about Clinton, Trump’s 2016 election rival. “For me this was opposition research, they had something, you know, maybe concrete evidence to all the stories I’d been hearing about,” Trump Jr went on. But some Republicans warned the Trump Jr contact was a red flag. The White House essentially refused to answer queries about Trump Jr on Tuesday, referring reporters to his legal counsel.
