Rep. Amash: Trump Jr. Email Implications 'Serious, Disturbing'

Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich., is calling for answers over Donald Trump Jr.'s meeting with a Russian attorney last year.

The implications of the email thread are serious & disturbing. We deserve answers, not an ever-changing story. If there's more, tell us now.

Campaigns don't operate this way. Even a political novice would worry about violating campaign finance laws given the context of the emails.

Trump Jr. tweeted an email chain on Tuesday containing the conversations that led up to his meeting with a Russian lawyer who reportedly had compromising information on his father's then-opponent Hillary Clinton.

President Donald Trump defended his son in a tweet Wednesday morning.

My son Donald did a good job last night. He was open, transparent and innocent. This is the greatest Witch Hunt in political history. Sad!
