Senate Republicans fractured Thursday over the news that the GOP-led Senate Intelligence Committee subpoenaed the president’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., for another round of testimony in its long-running Russia investigation.

Trump Jr.’s allies waged a Twitter campaign -- backed by his own retweets -- against the subpoena aimed at pressuring Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr to end his investigation. Burr appeared unmoved, declining to comment to reporters.
