The Senate Judiciary committee released transcripts of its interviews with Donald Trump Jr. on Wednesday — about the 2016 Trump Tower meeting with a Russian lawyer. And in some of the excerpts, the president’s son displayed a pretty hazy memory.

Notably, according to the AP, Trump Jr. could not recall speaking with his father, President Donald Trump, about the Russia investigation. LA Times reporter Chris Megerian Tweeted out a portion of the transcript which shows Don Jr. denying that he’s spoken with his dad about a number of Russia-related topics.

Daily Beast reporter Lachlan Markay highlighted a portion of the transcript in which Trump Jr. couldn’t remember a four-minute phone call he’d placed to blocked number on the day of the Trump Tower meeting. Immediately before and after that mysterious phone call, Trump Jr. had spoken with Emin Agalarov — who helped broker the sitdown with the Russian attorney.

And CNN K-File reporter Andrew Kaczynski flagged a portion of Trump Jr.’s testimony in which he claimed that his email saying that he’d “love” dirt on Hillary Clinton , “especially later in the summer,” were meant as a brush off of sorts.

1. first you lie and said the meeting was about adoptions...

and your father drafted a document about the meeting. Now when the truth came out you said you did not talk to your father about the meeting. You are an idiot, you probably called your father on his block phone and talked to him about this meeting immediately after the meeting. The block number, of course, was exposed and belongs to your father. Mueller is letting you lie all over the place. He already knows you spoke to your father about the meeting. He has the date, the time, and duration of your conversation with him. Dumb as rocks.
