Keep coming at me guys!!!: Donald Trump Jr. meets Russia scrutiny with defiance [View all]
Donald Trump Jr. had just posted a batch of private messages he exchanged with WikiLeaks during last year's campaign, confirming reports that he communicated with the website that published stolen Democratic emails obtained by Russian military intelligence.
"More nothing burgers from the media and others desperately trying to create a false narrative," the president's oldest son wrote on Instagram. "Keep coming at me guys!!!"
Over the course of the week, Trump Jr. went on to tweet or retweet criticism of his father's 2016 rival, Hillary Clinton; actor George Takei; Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.); and former vice president Joe Biden, sharing unsubstantiated claims about him from an anonymously sourced blog post.
Faced with deepening scrutiny of contacts he had in 2016 with people tied to Russia, the 39-year-old has adopted a provocative response: defiance.
In public appearances and on Twitter, Trump Jr. has taken an increasingly caustic tone, mocking critics and shoving himself into the scrum of the country's most polarizing debates.
It's an unorthodox legal strategy for someone under scrutiny by congressional investigators, whose every word could be used against him. But the approach fits with the real estate executive's growing public persona as a right-wing provocateur and ardent defender of Trumpism.
