Time magazine has put Donald
Trump Jr. on its cover page with an aptly curated tag - 'red-handed' and the
Twitter handle of the magazine has tweeted an interesting video about it.
The video highlights words
like 'Russia - Clinton - private and confidential - info - Trump Jr. writing I
love it - very high level and ultra-sensitive information' - from Trump Jr.
email conversation to on possibility of getting damaging information about
Hillary Clinton that he himself had tweeted after the New York Times story
about his meeting with a Russian lawyer with Kremlin connection in June 2016
that promised compromising and sensitive information about the democratic rival
of his father Donald Trump Sr.

While releasing the email
chain, Trump Jr. had claimed that he was doing so in order to be totally
transparent. Trump Sr. appreciated it saying his son Donald did a good job and
he was open, transparent and innocent. Trump Sr. then went on to add his
routine line about the ongoing FBI probe into Russian meddling into last year's
US presidential election - 'this is the greatest Witch Hunt in political
history. Sad!'
Donald Trump Jr. @DonaldJTrumpJr
Here's my statement and the
full email chain

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
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!

But the New York Times
immediately hit back saying that Trump Jr. was forced to do so as he was aware
that the Times was going to release the email conversation. Trump Jr. act has
brought a storm in America as it has effectively shut down all those tall claims
by Donald Trump, his family and his associates that the whole story about
Russian collusion was fake and phony and they had nothing to do with Russians.
Both, Trump Sr. and Trump Jr.
used to claim in past that there could not be a bigger lie than the alleged
Russian help for the Trump campaign. But
the email conversation clearly proves that the Trump campaign team was in touch
with Russians irrespective of the fact the email chain doesn't prove that the
Trump team indeed colluded with the Russians. And it has changed the whole
discourse about the affair in the American political and media circles with
experts even asking if Donald Trump Jr. can go to jail for it.
