Donald Trump, Jr. and the Russian emails After releasing a chain of e-mails, the President’s son stands accused of participating in Russia’s assault on American democracy. Last night he told Sean Hannity , he "probably would have done things a little differently," but even with "20-20 hindsight" he didn’t do anything wrong. In response to Washington talk about possible crime — even treason — he says no serious information was even exchanged. What’s been revealed about Russia’s subversive activities? How much will it matter to the President’s base of supporters?
