Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son, told House lawmakers Wednesday that he couldn’t answer questions about what he told his father after a controversial meeting with a Russian lawyer in June 2016, citing attorney-client privilege, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee said.
The Democrat, Adam Schiff of California, rejected Trump Jr.’s argument, telling reporters, "In my view, there is no attorney-client privilege that protects a discussion between father and son."
