While President Donald Trump’s Twitter feed was noticeably inactive Thursday during former FBI Director James Comey’s hearing, one of his sons was tweeting up a storm.
Donald Trump Jr. came to his father’s defense during Comey’s testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee, tweeting and retweeting more than 40 times in less than three hours.
The younger Trump targeted Comey, Democrats and the media. He called Comey’s comments “BS” after the former FBI director discussed what he believed to be a statement of “direction” from the president to drop an investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
According to Comey, Trump had told him, “I hope you can let this go.” Comey said he took the statement as a “direction” but acknowledged it was “not an order.”
1/3 Flynn stuff is BS in context 2 guys talking about a guy they both know well. I hear "I hope nothing happens but you have to do your job"
He also retweeted MSNBC host Greta Van Susteren and his father’s cable news network of choice, Fox News, while commenting on Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-Fla.) point during the hearing that there haven’t been any leaks confirming Trump is not personally under investigation:
We all know that there is no way anyone in the swamp would leak something favorable to #potus. Otherwise this whopper would be everywhere! https://t.co/hO5SCD3Nd2
The president’s son continued to bash Comey and Democrats as the hours rolled on, opting to pepper his feed with retweets of the usual conservative players.
There haven't been many punters drafted in the fourth round or higher like Tory Taylor just was. Chicago's No. 1 overall pick welcomed him in unique fashion.
Atlanta Falcons first-round draft pick Michael Penix Jr. said quarterback Kirk Cousins called him after he was picked No. 8 overall in one of the 2024 NFL Draft's more puzzling selections.
Cousins doesn’t have a track record inside the team. Unlike Alex Smith, Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers, there are no entrenched locker room soldiers behind him.
